The problem of salaries is very pressing in the health sector. This is a priority and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Social Protection is considering possibilities so as to solve this problem, the new Minister of Health Silvia Radu stated in the talk show “Important” on TVC21 channel, IPN reports.

“We are now studying the case and, even if we cannot raise the salaries to the level of pays in Romania, for example, we should ensure decent salaries not only for doctors, but also for medical assistants,” noted Silvia Radu. According to her, the first step was taken through the primary medicine reform that offers a very good solution to employees. The planned adoption of a new salary law would be the second step.

The minister said the range of services provided based on the health policy could be extended. They are now exploring the possibility of reviewing the medical services intended for grownups, in particular those who suffer from diabetes, so that the health policy covered the purchase of tests. “We can now review the list of services provided for money to see if the prices of these can be reduced,” stated Silvia Radu.
