Makati Mayor Abigail Binay said the initiative is part of the city government’s tribute to the sacrifices of the healthcare workers and medical front-liners amid the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) pandemic.<\/p>\n

\u201cThrough these wellness kits, we aim to send a message of thanks to our medical front-liners,\u201d Binay said. “We want to show them that we care and we treasure them. We gratefully attribute to their tireless efforts and contributions to the effectiveness of our Covid-19 response.”<\/p>\n

According to the city government, the wellness kit contains grocery items, a juice box with a reusable tumbler, one dozen original glazed flavored donuts, and a food voucher worth 500 pesos.<\/p>\n

Recipients of the wellness package are working at the Makati Health Department (MHD), Ospital ng Makati (OsMak), and Incident Command Post (ICP).<\/p>\n

The city government started the initial distribution of wellness kits on Dec.16, through the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) and Human Resource Development Office (HRDO).<\/p>\n

Binay said the city government organized an exclusive schedule of distribution per department, in consideration of the safety and convenience of the front-liners.<\/p>\n

The city government has been providing substantial and strategic support for the city\u2019s essential workers since the beginning of the health crisis in March.<\/p>\n

It has also been providing adequate personal protective equipment, hazard pay, free shuttle services, vitamins, free flu, and pneumonia vaccination, and free mass testing for the health workers.<\/p>\n

It also approved a salary increase for nurses and the hiring of additional health workers for the city.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
