Pinay Nurse sa UK, nabigyan ng British Empire Medal

Ang isang Filipino nurse ay nabigyan isang British Empire Medal para sa kanyang walang pagod na trabaho upang suportahan ang kanyang mga kasamahan at community sa panahon ng COVID-19 pandemic.

Si Minnie Klepacz, matron para sa opthalmology sa Royal Bournemouth Hospital, ay naramdaman na “tunay na napakumbaba” na makilala para sa kanyang outstanding paglilingkod sa United Kingdom bilang bahagi ng Queen’s Birthday Honors.

“What an incredibly proud day for Team (University Hospitals Dorset) – our brilliant matron Minnie has been recognized in the Queen’s Birthday Honors list and awarded a British Empire Medal,” inihayag ng UHD National Health Service Foundation Trust noong Sabado.

Sa ulat nito, sinabi ng UHD na pinangunahan ni Klepacz ang Black Asian Minority Ethnic Network ng ospital sa Royal Bournemouth Hospital at hinimok ang tugon ng tiwala upang magbigay ng mga pagtatasa sa peligro para sa lahat ng kawani ng BAME. Lumikha din siya ng isang well-being hub para sa kanyang tauhan na makapagpahinga.

Habang ginagawa niya ang lahat ng ito pati na rin ang kanyang pang-araw-araw na tungkulin sa matron, nagbigay din si Klepacz ng suporta para sa Filipino community sa labas ng kanyang trabaho, pagluluto ng pagkain para sa mga kasamahan na gumagaling matapos na intensive care, pagtulong sa iba na lumipat ng bahay at mag-organize ng isang virtual community.

“I never thought in my wildest dreams that I’d get an award. I feel so privileged and honored,” ani niya.

“When I saw an email from the Cabinet Office, I was so worried, and thought I’d done something wrong. I plucked up the courage to read it again and responded asking if it was a spam email because I just couldn’t believe it. They told me it was true and then rang me to reassure me, I couldn’t believe it,”dagdag ni Klepacz.

Siya ay nagtatrabaho sa ospital sa loob ng 19 na taon, pagdating mula sa Pilipinas upang magtrabaho sa UK bilang isang teenager.

Si Klepacz, na nawalan ng 11 kaibigan sa coronavirus, ay nagsabing, “COVID was really challenging, and most hospital staff affected by it came from a BAME background.”

Ipapadala niya ang kanyang medalya sa kanyang pamilya sa Pilipinas.

“Growing up, my mom always used to display all our awards prominently in the lounge as she was so proud of us all. As I can’t visit my family right now, it’s only right that they have my medal,” sabi niya.

Ang publication of the honors list ay ipinagpaliban noong Hunyo upang maisama sa pagkilala sa mga gumanap sa mahahalagang roles nitong pandemic.
