Tiniyak ni Senador Christopher “Bong” Go na tutuparin nito ang pangako na lahat ng manggagawa ay magkakaroon ng may kalidad na serbisyong pangkalusugan sa trabaho.
Sa kanyang video message sa 43rd Annual National Convention of the Philippine College of Occupational Medicine, Inc. (PCOM), iginiit ni Go ang kahalagahan ng occupational medicine sa pangangalaga, pagpoprotekta at pagtataguyod ng kalusugan at kaligtasan ng mga manggagawa sa lahat ng trabaho lalo na sa gitna ng pandemya.
“As we all know, occupational medicine deals with the assessment of workers’ health, working conditions and processes. The role and contribution of the occupational medicine physicians in the mitigation and control of COVID-19 should be given utmost importance and recognition in our country today,” sabi ni Go, chairman ng Senate Committee on Health.
“I am committed to ensure that all workers should have access to occupational health for the prevention and management of diseases from the hazards of work… Importanteng masiguro ang kaligtasan ng ating mga manggagawa, kabilang na ang mga medical frontliners na araw-araw sumusuong para labanan ang virus,” dagdag nito.
Pinuri ng senador ang PCOM sa pagseserbisyo ng natatanging medical specialty organization para sa occupational medicine physicians and specialists na kinikilala ng Philippine Medical Association.
“It is with great pride, therefore, that I congratulate the Philippine College of Occupational Medicine and its national officers, board of directors, through the leadership of Dr. Phil Pangilinan, its President na Dabawenyo rin po,” ayon pa kay Go.
“Gusto ko rin pong pasalamatan ang iba pang kapwa Dabawenyo namin ni Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na members ng PCOM. These are Dr. Elvie Donado, who takes care of wounded-in-action soldiers engaging with insurgents in Mindanao; Dr. Henry Derla, the pioneer of occupational medicine in Davao; and Davao City Councilor Dr. Mary Joselle Villafuerte,” pagpapatuloy nito.
