“Apparently the Santara clinics are a less financially capable hospital compared to the Kaunas clinics. The situation is different with IMI, as it is not a public body but a budget and money routes, and the conditions under which staff salaries are regulated are different.
The branch agreement stipulates that if there are specific funds, they must be allocated for that purpose. The task of the Lithuanian Medical Association, as one of the unions that has signed the branch agreement, would be to control how this distribution of money is carried out in the institutions. I think it will really be a task for the new Minister of Health to implement a more benevolent and obedient plan. [susitarimo], and how to regulate these financial flows ”, says the former vice president of the Medical Movement.
