Data from the OECD, i.e. the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, also show the size and significance of the wage increase: taking into account the different prices in each country, the earnings of Hungarian doctors in terms of purchasing power parity were already in the middle of the OECD countries in 2021 – replied the Magyar Nemzet to the question of Bence Rétvári, Parliamentary State Secretary of the Ministry of the Interior.

In doing so, it was significantly ahead of other countries in the region, but also, for example, Sweden, Norway, Italy and France.
– added the state secretary. According to him, this means that a Hungarian doctor can consume almost twice as much in his country as a Slovak or a Greek in his own country.
Speaking in the language of numbers, Bence Rétvári pointed out: since 2010, the increase in doctors’ wages has exceeded the increase in the average wage.
According to OECD data, the salary of doctors in 2021 was 4.69 times the average salary, which is the highest among OECD countries.
Bence Rétvári also mentioned that in March 2024, salary increases in the healthcare sector will continue with the salary increase for skilled workers, and their average basic salary will reach 37 percent of the average medical salary.
