Philippine Navy (PN) flag-officer-in-charge Vice Admiral Jose Luis Alano said that the naval service is now providing quality medical care to its sailors as part of their human capital strategy.
Around 25,000 sailors are currently serving aboard the Navy's estimated 80 to 110 ships.
Alano pointed out that with it is the enhancement of the PN’s wellness program where they strive to provide the necessary medical care to their sailors through quality medicines, instruments and services, stressing that not only at the naval hospitals, but on all sick bays aboard our ships and field units for our crewmen that are ever exposed to great risk.
The PN chief said that the Navy leadership has remained focused in the review and improvement of policies in procedure in recruitment.
"The Navy takes pride in its most important asset, and that is each and every sailor and marine, who never ceases to amaze me with their untiring dedication to keep our seas and islands secured and safe but more importantly willing to go into harm’s way without hesitation or delay, in order to protect the Filipino from harm, whether these be from organizations or individuals with ill intent for their selfish gains such as during the election campaign period in Ginoog or from calamities, such as the devastation caused by Typhoon 'Pablo'," he added.
Alano said that the PN owes it to its sailors to provide them with a work environment that is conducive for their professional growth and welfare.
"An environment that is governed by meritocracy and fairness: one that shuns ignorance, idleness, and indifference; one that provides a career path with a clear purpose; one that provides equal opportunity to all no matter what race, gender or creed and one that provides a whole and balanced development of career, wellness, social, spiritual, and family aspects of our personnel," the PN chief said.
