SORONG - The Government of Sorong City, West Papua Province, has disbursed a budget of Rp. 2 billion to pay for incentives for handling COVID-19 for health workers (nakes) in the last two months in 2021 which have not been paid.
Sorong Mayor Lambert Jitmau said the Rp2 billion budget each amounted to Rp1 billion for health workers at the Sele be Solu Hospital and 10 Puskesmas.
According to him, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, June 11, the payment for the rights of health workers will be made after each work unit prepares a report on the administration of services carried out.
Lambert explained that the involvement in the payment of health workers' rights was not due to an intentional element but because of administrative procedures that must be completed by hospitals and health centers.
Such as data on service reports for handling COVID-19 by health workers as the basis for making payments. Without this report, the agency cannot process payments, because that is the mechanism that must be followed.
He regretted the demonstrations carried out by the health workers in the last two weeks to demand payment of their rights.
"The health worker should come to meet officials properly to communicate about the payment of their rights, not come by conducting demonstrations," he said.
