In the presence of President Arroyo, GSK president and managing director Roberto Taboada (left) signed the memorandum of agreement with Labor Secretary Marianito Roque (right). Also present were Philippine Regulation Commission-Board of Nursing Commissioner Ruth Padilla (second from left) and Pharmaceutical Healthcare Association of the Philippines president Oscar Aragon (fourth from left). The NARS project will deploy a total of 10,000 unemployed nurses in the country’s poorest municipalities to improve the delivery of health care services in rural areas.
