Doctors received higher salaries – said the Minister of Health

HEALTH MINISTER Zlatibor Lončar stated in the TV PRVA newspaper that the situation with the corona virus is moving in the direction in which the light can be seen at the end of the tunnel, but caution should be exercised. As he said, it is not true.

“Today, the evaluation of our most distinguished professors of epidemiology at the Faculty of Medicine of Belgrade is, according to all the parameters they have so far, that if they adhered to the measures, they would not have people infected on June 15.” said.

Despite the good results, it is too early to talk about the victory over the crown, because the pandemic will come when everyone wins, the minister said, because the country will have to open, and then people will come and leave the country .

Loncar evaluated that the situation in all hospitals is satisfactory and that the system is working, it is safe, tests and emergency interventions are being carried out.

Now it is moving to the second phase: the regular system.

“Everyone with a problem that needs to be resolved according to the most regular procedure is screened, given help … We have taken every step to make it safe for both health workers and patients,” he said.

He thanked the health workers and said they were “incredible heroes”. He recalled that their wages increased.

“We found a situation where our nurses had a salary of 29,136 dinars in 2009 and 2010. Today, nurses have a salary of 54,166 dinars,” she said.

He added that in 2011, the clinical doctor had a salary of 51,119 dinars, and today he has 84,551 dinars, as well as that the specialist doctor had a salary of 62,763 dinars, and today his salary is 105,895 dinars.

Since the start of the epidemic, 4,500 health workers have been employed, of which 1,500 are doctors, he said.

He added that he will pay special attention to this generation of young people who became involved during the pandemic, which he believes is the future of Serbian health care.
