Bilang pagtugon sa direktiba ni Pangulong Rodrigo Roa Duterte para sa mga medical personnel na pulis at militar na tumulong sa mga ospital na may mataas na kaso ng coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), isang Memorandum of Agreement ang nilagdaan sa pagitan ng Philippine National Police (PNP) at Department of Health (DOH) noong Linggo, ika-10 ng Oktubre ng taong kasalukuyan.
Pinangunahan ni PNP Chief, Police General Guillermo Lorenzo T. Eleazar ang isang send-off ceremony sa Camp Crame, Quezon City kung saan 10 pulis-nars ang itinurn-over sa DOH para tumulong sa mga ospital na may maraming pasyente ng COVID-19.
“We also like to extend our gratitude for your steadfast in doing your job in the fight against COVID-19 since its start in 2020, to provide boarder control, rain or shine, and minimize the spread of the virus and also in managing our isolation facilities and vaccination centers to ensure safety and security of our health workers and patients, and lastly, this provision of additional manpower to our public and private hospitals like the Cardinal Santos Medical Center. This is a concrete proof of our cooperation as one country, by working together to recover as one”, pahayag-pasasalamat ni DOH-NCR Director Gloria J. Balboa.
Tiniyak naman ni PGen Eleazar na laging nakahanda ang PNP para tumulong sa programa ng pamahalaan para sa mga mamamayang Pilipino.
Pinapurihan din ng hepe ang PNP Medical Force sa kanilang ipinamalas na sakripisyo at dedikasyon sa ngalan ng kalusugan at serbisyo-publiko.
“To our 10 Health Service nurses who will be initially assigned at the Cardinal Santos Medical Center and to all our PNP medical force, we commend all of your hard work, professionalism, dedication, and commitment during this challenging time. Undeniably, no cause is more worthy than the cause of saving human lives. As law enforcers, we shall continuously serve as beacons of hope and vanguards of humanitarian action in the interest of national security, public safety, and public health,” ani PGen Eleazar.
Samantala, bininyagan sa kaparehong araw ang sanggol na ipinanganak sa loob ng Kiangan facility sa Kampo Crame noong Setyembre 16, 2021.
Matatandaan na ang ina ng sanggol na isang Patrolwoman na naka-assign sa Manila Police District-Station 9 ay nagpositibo sa COVID-19 at na-quarantine sa naturang pasilidad. Ligtas at malusog niyang ipinanganak ang sanggol sa tulong ng dalawang (2) pasyente rin na naka-quarantine, isang doktor at isang non-uniformed personnel.
Tumayo bilang ninong at ninang si PGen Eleazar at kanyang maybahay na si Mrs. Rosalie H. Eleazar, kasama ang PNP Command Group.
