The Hungarian Doctors’ Union (MOSZ), whose president, Zoltán Szabad surgeon gave an interview to MedicalOnline.

He said in the conversation that he feared that the consequences of a law passed without a vote in Parliament, in addition to seriously undermining the interests of workers, would be passed on to patients.

If doctors employed in local care are not allowed to work second jobs in specialized outpatient institutions further away from the big cities as employers, there is a high probability that these micro-regional surgeries will cease to exist. This puts patients at a disadvantage because they have to travel 40 to 50 kilometers to receive care, which they may not be able to do.

He said. According to Zoltán Szabad, there may also be fewer specialists in the professions of scarcity typically free of parasolvency than intensive care or emergency care. Doctors in these departments, who are now also employed as employers, will receive a lower salary than before with the new pay scale. If they leave the public sector or are unable to work in more places, again, only patient access will deteriorate, resulting in longer waiting lists, he added.

He said that in the first round, MOSZ will begin collecting statements of intent in which employees express their intention not to sign new employment contracts “because they do not want to be subject to the new law.” According to him, if enough statements are collected, the government will be forced to prevent even mass layoffs with a series of reassuringly closed talks.

On the other hand, we want to assure our colleagues, who are working to the extreme and are now very desperate, that they are not left alone and there is hope. Membership will be sought for possible additional actions

Zoltán Szabad said. The MOSZ Coalition for Health has created an action alliance that

fight for the adoption of a just law based on consensus, which is no more unfavorable to employees than the Kjt. As a representative of the interests that cover the entire sector, which therefore has strong legitimacy from 12,000 members, constantly growing, we would like the Minister of the Interior, Sándor Pintér, to sit down and discuss with us.
