'And with your spirit': a holistic support for healthcare workers in the midst of COVID-19 pandemic.

Public health is characterized by social justice where it has the obligation to 'give what is due' and address the needs of the entire community. Recent correspondence calls for the physical, financial and mental support of the government to our 'distressed' healthcare workers. However, this seems to insufficient since the spiritual well-being is set aside and Filipinos are known to be religious people by their very nature. I therefore propose and highlight the use of a holistic approach which emphasizes the needed support which caters the faith dimension of our frontliners. The proposals include the availability of human resource and religious practices in both public and private hospitals where the healthcare workers do their battle relentlessly.
