Kyriakos Mitsotakis spoke in a video on TikTok about the steps being taken to reform the NHS and the planning to hire 6,500 doctors and nurses within 2024.
“Before the elections, I had uploaded a video about the National Health Service and I had committed myself to some important interventions. On the occasion of your question, the time has come to tell you that we have already started to implement them”, said Mr. Mitsotakis, initially.
“First and foremost, a few days ago the cabinet approved the recruitment planning for the year 2024. Thus, in 2024, within the next year, 6,500 doctors and nurses will be recruited to staff hospitals and health centers across the country,” he added.
“You often tell me that the salaries of doctors and nurses are low and you are right, so let me tell you about the measures we have already implemented:
-Increase the salaries of our doctors by 10%
-Additional allowance to ICU doctors and Anesthesiologists of 400 euros per month
-Additional allowance of 250 euros per month to ER doctors
-Additional 1,800 euros of the salary for those who move to islands
-Increasing the risk allowance for nurses to 200 euros per month
-Additional 1,200 euros of the salary for travel to the islands”
The prime minister also highlighted the financial incentives given to young doctors who choose pathology and general medicine.
“And something else very important! We have decided to give generous financial incentives to our young doctors, who will choose pathology or general medicine as a specialty. It will concern a total of 2,500 new doctors. They are children who studied here and now they will have an additional incentive to stay in our country to serve two specialties, pathology and general medicine that are so critical for the country to finally have quality primary health care.
Finally, there is secured funding of 1.5 billion euros to build Emergency Departments in 96 hospitals and repair a total of 156 health centers across the country,” he said, while announcing a video about hospital administrations.
