Philippines HBV workers - fight for your rights!

By Antonio L. Colina IV

Tuesday, July 23, 2013

A GROUP of doctors called on lawmakers on Monday to pass a bill that will set clear-cut policies to protect workers who tested positive with hepatitis B in the workplace.

In a press conference at Davao Doctors Hospital, Dr. Marilyn Arguillas, former president and consultant of Hepatology Society of the Philippines (HSP), said there's not even a single legislation in the country that protects workers from discrimination such as getting better job opportunities and promotion at work.
