There is usually a high demand from doctors looking for a permanent place to work. Although the truth is that the spaces located in the main cities of the country are always the first to be finished.
Is risking personal safety worth more money?
Robledo’s announcement has generated multiple opinions. Although the increase in the bonus for specialist doctors of the IMSS looks good, the main drawback is the issue of unsafety.
To date there are doctors who prefer not to work in rural areas and it is not for monetary reasons but because their Integrity is not guaranteed. The most remote places in the country are where the most cases of assaults and attacks against health professionals are recorded.
Likewise, the hospitals located in these regions tend to be the ones with the most deficiencies. Their equipment is obsolete and sometimes unusable. They also lack sufficient supplies to allow doctors to care for their patients. And a similar situation occurs with medications because there are not sufficient quantities.
With this in mind, the increase in bonus for specialist doctors IMSS It is not entirely favorable. Beyond offering greater remuneration, what is needed is to guarantee sufficient security measures for personnel in the most remote areas of the country.
And in your case, would you accept a higher bonus for IMSS doctors in exchange for working in a highly dangerous area?
