On Friday, the leadership of the University of Szeged and the Clinical Center summoned hundreds of doctors who had not signed the health service employment contract in two rounds. We know that university leaders have failed to convince doctors. If they don’t change their minds until midnight Monday, life will come to a halt at the Szeged clinics starting Tuesday.

At present, it is claimed that there will be virtually no surgeons at the Szeged surgery clinic as of Tuesday. According to our sources, so far only a few workers have signed a new health service contract who do not perform surgeries due to their age or position. If others do not change their minds before midnight on Monday, the region’s healing center can continue to function without a third of Szeged’s clinicians.

On Thursday, we reported that a total of almost 300 doctors in Szeged had not signed the contract drawn up under the new legal relationship. On Friday, they were invited to a meeting by university leaders. The forum was developed in two rounds, the first was the President of the Albert Szent-Györgyi Clinical Center, the Legal Director of the University of Szeged (SZTE) and the Strategic Director of the Clinical Center, and the second was the Rector László Rovó trying to press them.

Doctors don’t sign contracts in Szeged without a word

Several clinics are requested not to provide the lowest fees and surcharges to the Clinical Center. The General Directorate of the National Hospital has agreed that they can afford the higher allowances, but in Szeged there is no indication that the employer uses it at the moment.

However, the case did not advance. According to our information, the university leaders argued that the SZTE clinics are accumulating billions of debts, there is no money for requested supplements, salary supplements, to liquidate contracts like the other universities. Although the clinical president and management of SZTE could have asked the National Hospital General Directorate (OKF) to allow them additional costs – according to the organization’s resolution, the requested benefits could be supplemented by 30 percent – but not They submitted a request, clarifying the case and for a later date, we know it was promised by the end of May.

So now the situation is that doctors, especially younger ones, would earn even less than before the pay increase. Even after the professional exams, those involved would not receive the 40,000 and 60,000 forints, respectively. Doctoral training is included in the employment relationship in the new employment relationship, but now a separate certificate must be obtained for this time to be taken into account in the classification of the new employment relationship.

We learned that the afternoon forum was simply left by the doctors, and that the clinic settled Tuesday’s care as you know it.

According to our information, László Rovó, who held the second forum, was tougher. He also argued the lack of money, but also added that the university had been threatened “from above” that if the doctors did not sign their contracts, they could continue to function as a city hospital.

Many points remained unclear in the new contract, so negotiations took place during the week, and the staff wrote a letter to the Clinical Center about almost all the clinics on the matter. His problems were reported, among others, by the Institute of Anesthesiology and Intensive Care, the Department of Facial, Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery, the Department of Pediatric Surgery, the Department of Orthopedics, Surgery, Neurosurgery and Urology, the Department of Cardiac Surgery, The Department of Ophthalmology, doctors from the gynecology and psychiatry clinics were also incorporated.

The Szeged treatment center performs regional tasks and, in addition to the patient traffic being by far the largest, the most complicated cases are also performed there in the region.
