Health professionals will also receive a raise.

In November, the government will increase the salaries of nurses and health professionals by twenty percent, in addition to the 500,000 florins it gave to health workers in the summer, announced in Maglód Bence Rétvári, parliamentary secretary of state of the Ministry of Human Resources (Emmi).

Rétvári no longer mentioned that the government had already decided on the 500,000 increase, so he did not take any new action, did not provide a new source, simply tagged an existing article as having something to do with the epidemic. We wrote about this earlier in this article:

The Secretary of State spoke about the salary increase at the Maglód health center handover ceremony. The health center was created with an investment of more than 300 million guilders. According to Rétvári, it is important to have someone working in these health institutions, so it is decisive that the number of doctors applying for a permit to work abroad in Hungary has decreased by 68.6 percent in the last decade. , and the number of nurses applying for such a license has been cut in half. Medical colleges are graduating 30 to 50 percent more than a decade ago, so the number of licensed physicians has risen from 34,000 to 39,000, he said.

Rétvár somewhat contradicts the Central Statistical Office, according to which, according to September data, there was a shortage of more than 9,000 workers in health and social care in Hungary in the second quarter of 2020. The vice president of the Hungarian Medical Chamber told hvg.hu that last year 300 doctors under the age of 40 had terminated their active membership in the chamber, usually went abroad or were no longer working as doctors.

“In proportions, it is as if an entire university degree had disappeared,” added Péter Álmos.

What is the value of Orbán’s management plan if there simply aren’t enough hospital staff?

With beds and ventilators, the government is preparing to have as many as 400,000 coronavirus infections in the country by November, but has done little to address chronic staff shortages. Last year, a doctor under the age of 40, corresponding to an entire university degree, disappeared from the system, nurses can no longer be found in private health services, and intensive care units can only guess when the epidemic will break out.

The Secretary of State also spoke in Maglód about the fact that in this decade the government increased health spending by HUF 915 billion, 76 percent, part of which was spent on developments similar to Maglód, hospitals, surgeries and stations. ambulance.

And about the new institution in Maglód, he said that it is already part of a health system with a 21st century approach, which also provides spaces for the prevention and preservation of health. The new approach has also increased the number of years spent on health and life expectancy by nearly two in a decade, he said.

Lajos Szucs, MP of Fidesz for the area, according to the health center to promote the support received from the HUF 80 billion framework provided by the government, which aims to reach the county of Pest.
