Today, Monday, unvaccinated health workers returned to work after 16 months of work suspension in accordance with the decision of the Council of State to which health workers federation POEDIN appealed.
“If there weren’t the two decisions of the Council of State today, we would be talking about the dismissals of the unvaxinated, as the Minister of Health has repeatedly stated, and not about their return,” says POEDIN in a statement.
The return of around 2,000 health workers to the National Health Service, ambulance service EKAV (the remaining 5,000 work with a sick certificate) is a deep breath for the system, notes the Federation, emphasizing however that “the problem of understaffing remains and can only be solved by the permanentization of all contract holders and recruitment of permanent staff”. He also adds that the decision to return the unvaccinated health workers “does not involve a health risk as there are no restrictive measures in society, the protocols in the Hospitals have been relaxed and at the same time we health workers strictly apply personal protection measures protecting patients and ourselves”.
According to POEDIN, the regulation of the payment of salaries from 14/4/2022 to 31/12/2022 as stipulated by the decision of the Council of State remains.
