Philippines' Duterte eases overseas travel ban on health workers

MANILA - The Philippines’ president has eased an overseas travel ban on Filipino nurses and other medical workers to allow more to take jobs abroad, his spokesman said on Monday, as his government believes it has its coronavirus outbreak under control.

Thousands of health workers, who call themselves “priso-nurses”, had appealed to the government to let them travel, Reuters reported last week. The nurses say they feel underpaid, under-appreciated and unprotected in the Philippines. “These are nurses who already spent a lot processing their papers. They are not that many so we allowed them to leave,” Roque said.
