From what month does the salary increase for doctors begin? Latest current news about medical salaries

The Russian Federation is a country with a market economy. For a state with this economic system, the process of constant rise in prices for food, clothing, household items and other consumer goods is absolutely normal. To survive in an ever-changing economic situation, citizens must receive salaries greater than or equal to the state-established minimum subsistence level. For commercial workers, this issue is resolved by the heads of private companies, but what about public sector employees? Their financial interests are protected by the state itself. The salary increase in October of this year is a continuation of the program of planned increase in income of public sector workers according to the Presidential decree of May 2012. The category of public sector specialists falling under this decree includes teachers, healthcare workers, civil servants and others.

Salary from October 2017

The salary increase from October 1, 2017 is part of the annual indexation program in connection with economic inflation. According to the Decree, the income of state employees from 2012 to 2018 should be approximately doubled. Wage growth should take place in two stages - from 2012 to 2014 and from 2015 to 2018. But the difficult economic situation associated with the collapse of resource prices, the financial crisis and sanctions forced the government to suspend the program. Moreover, in 2016, funding for health and education was reduced. Several planned salary increases have already been missed. The Government also did not agree on increasing the incomes of public sector employees from October of this year. The minimum wage is expected to increase

Salary increase from October 1

From October 1, wages will be raised for several categories of public sector specialists. This proposal was made by the President at the next government meeting. The President pointed out the need to increase salaries for public sector employees who were not covered by the May 2012 decrees. There is already a more or less clear answer to the question of whose salary will be increased from October 1. This, in addition to the specialists from the list of May decrees, includes support and administrative personnel: lawyers, programmers, plumbers, mechanics, cleaners, engineers and others. Salary indexation in October for workers in the healthcare and education sectors will be carried out as planned.

Salaries of doctors from October 1

Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the media about increasing salaries for doctors in October. These conversations had a basis - there are indeed plans to increase the salaries of doctors from October 1, 2017. Salaries for doctors in October will be distributed as follows:

• Income for doctors will increase by 6 percent;
• The income of nursing staff will increase by 19 percent;
• by 10 percent for junior medical personnel.

When asked whether there will be an increase in doctors' salaries in October, the government gives an unequivocal positive answer. In addition, the state plans to provide an increase to all doctors by another 30 percent, and to medical personnel by 60 percent.

Doctors' salaries from October 2017 will be, on average:

• about 90 thousand rubles in Moscow;
• about 65 thousand rubles in remote regions - the Komi Republic, Murmansk, Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug and others;
• about 40 thousand rubles in Yaroslavl, Kaliningrad, Tver, Yekaterinburg and other cities.

From October 1, 2017, the salaries of doctors will increase by up to 60 percent in two stages. We are talking here about specialists who make up junior and mid-level medical personnel. On average, nurses, orderlies and paramedics received 15-30 rubles per month of their work. From May 1, their income was increased to 30 percent. From October 1, it is planned to raise wages by another 30 percent. Thus, their salary from October 1, 2017 will be about 24-40 thousand rubles.

Salaries of public sector employees from October

Salaries in public sectors raise many questions among the population, first of all, due to the huge difference between them. The income of some officials is tens of times higher than the salaries of, for example, workers in science or education. To correct the situation, in 2012 the President issued a decree on a systematic increase in salaries for these categories of citizens over several years. As part of this program, from October 1, it is expected that salaries for public sector employees will increase in both the basic and incentive components. The head of the Ministry of Labor confirmed his intention to continue to implement the Presidential Decree in a conversation with the media. The implementation of the task of increasing salaries for public sector employees in October is planned to be transferred to the hands of regional authorities. In many regions, official documents have already been released confirming the authorities’ decision to increase wages. For example, in the Rostov region the increase affected:

• social workers;
• education workers;
• doctors and health workers;
• employees of cultural institutions;

In the Krasnoyarsk Territory, salaries will be increased by an average of 5 percent for healthcare and education workers.

Teachers' salaries from October 2017

The problem of low salaries for education workers has been solved for a long time. Due to the low level of remuneration for teaching work, the prestige of this profession is also falling; young people do not strive to obtain this profession. According to official data, the average salary of teachers today is approximately 18-20 rubles per month. But Rosstat data concerns only residents of regional centers. In small settlements this figure is even lower - 13-15 thousand rubles. According to the Presidential decree, the planned increase in the income of education workers began back in 2012 after the release of the relevant May Decrees. The government has planned to increase the average salary of specialists in this field by 150 percent by 2018. In 2017, the approved program continues. But, due to new systems for calculating payments and the financial crisis, wage indexation will be insignificant. It is expected that teachers’ salaries will increase by 3-5 percent from October 1, 2017, which will only allow them to maintain their purchasing power at the same level in the face of increased inflation. Also, teachers' salaries in October will also be regulated by effective contracts. This individual employment contract specifies various quality criteria that affect the activities of the education worker. Only serious and responsible implementation of all job descriptions can guarantee a state employee a consistently high income.

Minimum wage since October

It is expected that the minimum wage will be increased as part of the planned increase in the minimum wage in the Russian Federation. The question is quite relevant today, since the minimum wage has been rising unstably in recent years. For example, on January 1, 2017, there was no increase. On average, the minimum income limit increases by 300 rubles and now stands at 7,800. The next increase is expected in October.

On October 1, doctors' salaries were increased - the base salary for doctors increased by almost 3 thousand rubles, for junior medical staff by 2 thousand, and for average medical staff - by 600 rubles. The increase occurs as part of the implementation of the May decrees, according to which, from January 1, 2018, doctors should receive 200% of the average salary in the region, and nurses and orderlies - 100%. However, Realnoe Vremya experts advise doctors not to delude themselves: the decree provides for the concept of “average salary”, which is far from the real one.

“If the average salary in Tatarstan is 30 thousand per month, this does not mean that the doctor will receive 60”

From October 1, doctors in Tatarstan received a salary increase - this is only the first part of the increase, the second is scheduled for January 1. According to the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Tajikistan No. 731 dated September 29, 2017, the base salary of a medical specialist will increase from 8,748 to 11,722 rubles, nursing staff - from 7,890 to 8,560, and junior - from 6,415 to 8,498 rubles.

From October 1, the ratio of the average salary of doctors in the republic to the average salary in Tatarstan should be 180%, paramedical personnel - 90%, junior medical personnel - 80%. And from January 1, 2018 - 200% and 100%, respectively.

Thus, in the first quarter of 2017, according to the Federal State Statistics Service, the average salary in the Republic of Tatarstan was 29,358 rubles. 200% is an almost fantastic figure; it would seem that a holiday is finally coming on Doctors Street. “I have no doubt that this will be accomplished,” says Gulnar Khusnutdinova, chairman of the Tatarstan health workers’ trade union, “and the budget will be set to take these increases into account.” But he immediately advises not to delude yourself, because we are talking only about the average salary, and not the real one.

If the average salary in Tatarstan is 30 thousand per month, this does not mean that the doctor will receive 60. This will not happen, because someone has a salary of 20 thousand, someone 300 thousand, and this will be the average figure, says Gulnar Khusnutdinova.

Which doctor earns 300 thousand? There are few such doctors, but they exist, answers the leader of the trade union movement. And these are not necessarily chief doctors, but highly qualified specialists, “world-class doctors, these are the Republican Clinical Hospital and the International Clinical Clinical Center, they will be gladly accepted in Germany and the USA, and in order to keep them here, an appropriate salary is needed.”

The majority of doctors have a salary of 27-30 thousand rubles per month, and only together with paid services and part-time work can reach 40 thousand rubles. And they combine almost everything - on average, a doctor in Tatarstan works at 1.4 times the salary.

Optimization in Russian style: the salaries of nurses will be distributed among doctors

The interregional trade union of healthcare workers “Action” fears that the figures set by Putin’s May decrees have been achieved through optimization. We started with junior medical staff - there were practically none left in hospitals, all nurses were transferred to the position of cleaners. Therefore, there is no need to implement decrees regarding them. Realnoe Vremya was unable to officially confirm these data at the time of publication, but experts provide figures for other regions of the Volga Federal District.

According to Rosstat, in the first quarter of 2016, the number of junior medical staff decreased by 50 thousand people. In the Sverdlovsk region, junior staff were reduced by 43 percent. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, 30 thousand people were laid off in the first half of 2017, says Andrei Konoval, co-chairman of the interregional trade union of healthcare workers “Action”.

“Rosstat may record these data by region, but we must understand that these are average figures, and the internal structure of the distribution of the wage fund is not in favor of the majority of medical workers,” Konoval believes. Photo by Maxim Platonov

According to Konoval, the government resolution on the implementation of the May decrees actually spoke about the need for optimization measures and salary growth due to the vacated places, but now this is taking on caricatured forms.

A bright story in the Knyagininsky Central District Hospital of the Nizhny Novgorod Region. They have two ambulance teams, each with one paramedic - there are no doctors. Previously, calls to these teams were answered by a nurse. This is a disgrace, of course, because she does not have sufficient qualifications to assess the severity of the patient’s condition, but at the beginning of the year, the nurse was also laid off, as throughout the country, and these functions were assigned to paramedics. What to do when paramedics leave for a call? Then the call is answered by a former nurse, now a cleaner. And when her working day ends, a cleaner from a neighboring department takes her in,” Andrei Konoval talks about optimization in Russian.

Konoval believes that doctors in the mass category will not receive a salary of 200% of the regional average from January 1. “Rosstat may record these data by region, but we must understand that these are average figures, and the internal structure of the distribution of the wage fund is not in favor of the majority of medical workers. In Udmurtia, a hospital doctor’s salary is 13 thousand, and the authorities report that in the first half of the year they had an average salary of 39 thousand. The same applies to Moscow: the average salary is stated to be 100-120 thousand, in reality the situation is different - a local therapist receives 40-50 thousand.”

“Average salary plus 200 percent, but subject to full working hours”

Former Minister of Health of Tatarstan, now State Duma deputy Airat Farrakhov, believes that increasing doctors’ salaries to 200% of the regional average is a real task, there are sources of funding.

Our sources of financial support for healthcare are compulsory medical insurance and the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Contributions to compulsory medical insurance in general are 20 percent more, and the budgets of the constituent entities increased the volume of allocations by more than 16 percent. The increase in allocations in healthcare makes it possible to achieve the required level of salaries, and I am absolutely confident that this will be achieved, says Airat Farrakhov.

According to Farrakhov, increasing the minimum wage is not a one-time action; by 2019, it is planned to equalize the minimum wage and the living wage. Photo by Maxim Platonov

The deputy found it difficult to say how much doctors will receive; according to him, it all depends on the average salary in the economy, which will be in the region after January 1: “The average salary plus 200 percent, but subject to the full standard of working hours. Not half-time, not a quarter-time, but with full working hours.”

As for the nurses who were transferred to cleaners, their salaries, according to Farrakhov, will also be increased. “In healthcare, there are categories of workers who do not belong to the decree, but there are also additional allocations: it is planned to increase the minimum wage from January 1 to 80 percent of the subsistence level - this is almost 2 thousand rubles, and the second is a 4 percent indexation of wages - this money will be enough to implement decrees and increase salaries.”

According to Farrakhov, increasing the minimum wage is not a one-time action; by 2019, it is planned to equalize the minimum wage and the living wage.

Therefore, there will be no low-paying budget jobs. By equating the minimum wage and the subsistence minimum, we are saying that there should be no poor people. There should be no working people who have an income below the subsistence level, says Farrakhov.

For the constituent entities, the deputy believes, the implementation of the May decrees is a financially intensive task, but 30% of the costs are covered by the federal budget. After the increase, efforts will need to be made to maintain the achieved salary level.

Previously, real plans for government leadership were outlined that the salary increase for doctors for the period from 2012 to 2018 should be carried out in two temporary stages. In any case, this was recorded in Putin’s Decrees, which were called the May Decrees. However, the economic crisis situation associated with the fall in the cost of energy resources, as well as the events in Crimea and Donbass, which led to the imposition of sanctions by the West, forced the Government to suspend the implementation of the program.

Moreover, after several missed dates for new salaries for doctors, a healthcare reform was launched in 2016, which, as befits all reforms carried out under capitalism, led to a reduction in medical costs. And the first increase in salaries for doctors since 2012 occurred only in May 2017.

• doctors' salaries increased by 6%;
• mid-level medical specialists by 19%;
• and junior level medical staff by 10%.

Increase in salaries for doctors from October 1

Regarding how much the salaries of doctors have been increased in cash terms, the following data is provided that the average salary of doctors since October 2017 is:

• within 40 thousand rubles in the regions of Central Russia;
• about 65 thousand rubles - in the North, as well as in the Far East and Siberia;
• within 90 thousand - in Moscow.

Moreover, Ministry of Health officials explain that the final increase in doctors’ salaries in 2017 was planned within 60% and in two stages - from May 1 and October 1, 30% for each date. However, in fact, the level of income increases was not so large-scale, and as a result, more significant increases affected only junior and mid-level medical specialists.

As a result, the increase in salaries for doctors in 2017 led to the fact that their income in monetary terms now ranges from 24 to 40 thousand rubles, whereas before that they received from 15 to 30 thousand in ruble equivalent.

Salaries for doctors in October

In fact, the increase in salaries for doctors in October was the result of the fact that the government, in connection with the improvement of the economic situation in the country, first of all turned its attention to the situation with the deplorable state of income of medical specialists. Usually, when asked what the salary of doctors is, clarification is required, since it depends on several parameters, and the salary includes:

• salary approved by the medical institution;
• various increases for the loads endured by the staff and the complexity of the work. For example, surgeons who find it impossible to regulate periods of work and rest, since it often happens that they may not leave the operating table for hours during complex operations;
• premiums per category. A doctor can have three qualification categories, starting from the second, then he is assigned the first category and the highest paid category is the highest;
• additional payments depending on work experience, otherwise called length of service;
• regional surcharges. Each Russian region has its own economic characteristics. In some regions, the cost of living is higher than in others, therefore, to equalize the standard of living, there are allowances so that a medical worker can pay for housing, food, transportation and other expenses at the average Russian level;
• compensation payments due to inflation. If we take a strict approach, then the salary of doctors from October 1 is by no means an increase, but far from full compensation for the depreciation of money that occurred during the crisis, from 2013 to 2017.

Increase in salaries for doctors in October - news

News about salaries for doctors did not leave the lips of officials, but from their submission and from the pages of the media and television screens, perhaps, starting from the announcement of the Decrees. Moreover, every time these news came out with the mark “urgent” and the word “promotion” certainly appeared in their titles. However, this word acquired real meaning only in May, and also when the real salaries of doctors increased in October 2017.

Most analysts believe that due to the increase in the cost of barreled oil, which has already exceeded 60 units of the ubiquitous American currency, foreign exchange reserves are growing, and the President does not hide this. Therefore, the media, when publishing forecasts, are confident that a new increase in the income of public sector employees is coming, just as the salary of doctors in 2017 is not the limit; the latest news says that these increases are related to the future presidential elections.

There is even an assumption that by the spring of next year the average salary of a Russian physician will reach fifty thousand rubles. However, the news is immediately followed by comments from the doctors themselves that, as a rule, salary increases are accompanied by the term “optimization,” which means massive layoffs of workers.

But the intrigue about pre-election increases is really present, although so far no one can say either specific dates or the size of the increase in income. There are even rumors that they want to equalize the income of doctors with the Moscow and St. Petersburg salaries of medical workers. As they say, blessed is he who still believes in something.

As for the salary of Moscow doctors, its size can be seen in the income of the most popular profession in medicine - therapists. In the Moscow region they receive about 60 thousand - this is evidenced by statistics. However, its data cannot be considered reliable, since it takes into account the income of doctors, both public and private clinics.

Salaries in private medical institutions cannot be compared with the income level of municipal and state medical institutions, therefore the real income of the average ordinary pediatrician in a city or district clinic is much lower.

The latest news confirms the authorities’ intentions to increase doctors’ salaries in 2018. President Vladimir Putin emphasized the need to fulfill the obligations set out in the May decrees. Experts believe that the actual planned increase may not coincide with the actual one, since budgets at various levels maintain significant deficits.

Latest news for doctors: expected salary increase in 2018

As part of the May decrees, the salaries of doctors should be significantly increased until 2018. Next year, doctors should receive at least 200% of the average salary in the region. For middle and junior staff this figure cannot be less than 100%. The authorities will fully fulfill this task, emphasizes head of state Vladimir Putin.

Since 2012, doctors’ salaries have constantly increased, officials emphasize. Despite the consequences of the economic crisis, this year the salaries of doctors will reach 180% of the average in the region. Since the beginning of the year, doctors' salaries have been increased by 7.5%, the second stage of increase is scheduled for October 1. At the end of 2016, the average salary of a doctor exceeded 50 thousand rubles; for middle and junior staff, this figure reached 28.2 thousand rubles, respectively. and 18.4 thousand rubles.

The transition to two stages of increasing the salaries of doctors during the year indicates the authorities’ intention to optimize budget expenses, experts emphasize. The authorities continue to experience a shortage of funds to finance social obligations, which forces them to look for ways to reduce costs. In such conditions, there remains a high probability of an incomplete increase in the salaries of doctors from January 1, 2018.

In addition, some regions lag significantly behind the implementation of presidential decrees, failing to find the necessary funds to increase wages for medical personnel.

Regional features of increase

The head of the Health Foundation, Eduard Gavrilov, emphasizes problems that may prevent the authorities from fully fulfilling their obligations to increase the salaries of medical staff. At the same time, it is worth taking into account the specifics of remuneration for doctors in various types of medical organizations. If we take into account regional and municipal institutions, the ratio of a doctor’s salary to the average level will be 2.8% lower.

To reach a new level of medical salaries in 2018, the regions drew up their own roadmaps that fix intermediate target values. At the end of last year, more than a third of the regions did not achieve the planned level of increase in doctors’ pay, Gavrilov emphasizes. Also, 16 regions do not meet the indicator for mid-level medical personnel. However, the biggest problems are related to the remuneration of junior staff.

According to the Health Foundation, about 75% of regions were unable to meet the target level of increasing the work of junior medical staff. Such statistics indicate the presence of systemic problems in the implementation of roadmaps. In addition, low pay for junior staff leads to high staff turnover. This trend has a negative impact on the quality of medical services, Gavrilov believes.

Another negative trend is that some regions make changes to approved roadmaps if they cannot ensure their implementation. A similar situation was observed in the Omsk and Ryazan regions, which at the end of 2016. – early 2017 adjusted our own plans.

Experts emphasize that the main factor in implementing the May decrees remains the availability of money in the state treasury. In 2017, the government expects the economic situation to improve, but the domestic budget remains in a vulnerable position.

Budget restrictions

Increasing the salaries of doctors and fulfilling other social obligations depend on Russian budget revenues. The dynamics of oil prices remain unstable, which creates risks of increasing the state treasury deficit. The baseline forecast assumes stable prices in the oil market, but excessive oil production could lead to a new price collapse.

The government does not rule out a new decline in oil prices, which will significantly limit the financial capabilities of the budget. According to the Ministry of Finance's forecasts, a pessimistic scenario allows for a collapse in prices to $25-30 per barrel. In this case, the authorities will try to delay the planned increase in wages until the end of the year.

Next year, medical workers will see another increase in wages. The authorities intend to increase doctors' salaries to 200% of the regional average. For other categories of medical staff, this figure will be 100%.

Experts note regional peculiarities in the implementation of presidential decrees, which indicate the presence of systemic problems. In addition, the vulnerability of the domestic budget to external challenges may hinder the implementation of officials’ plans.

In many hospitals, orderlies are paid more than nurses. We were given a bonus twice before the New Year so that our salary would be 48-50 thousand, but now they said it will be at the old level - 27-30 thousand rubles. The data went to the center from the annual average of 50 thousand. Our leadership is great - they did everything on paper, but they don’t care about the doctors,” says a doctor from Chita. “The situation is similar in Shilka. Since the end of last year, nurses began to receive salaries almost at the same level as doctors. No one explains the reasons for this increase. But, of course, general dissatisfaction is felt,” an employee of the hospital in Shilka comments on the situation. “Yes, in the regional clinical hospital, orderlies also began to receive more. The difference is 5-7 thousand. The management of the institution does not explain to anyone why this happened.

Nurses compared to orderlies

We guess that this is due to the budget policy of the entire country, according to which wages in the industry should be 100% of the average salary in the region for both nurses and orderlies. But this devalues ​​our work. After all, anyone understands the difference in the level of responsibility for work.
For nurses it is many times higher. We are not against the wages of orderlies being increased, but why then were the nursing staff left without an increase? This is incomprehensible and illogical,” an employee of the regional clinical hospital is indignant. Obviously, such a sharp increase in wages for junior medical personnel is associated with the May presidential decrees, which state that the salaries of middle and junior staff should reach 100% of the average for the regional economy by 2018.

To bring this figure up to the required level, nurses' salaries were sharply increased.

Unfair wages. nurses vs orderlies

Attention

The Moscow regional organization of the trade union of healthcare workers of the Russian Federation sent an appeal to the regional Minister of Health, in which it once again pointed out the growing disproportion in the remuneration of middle and junior medical personnel. In particular, the trade union notes that the ministry’s hopes that the imbalance could be overcome through incentive payments did not materialize.

Nurses and orderlies have been made equal

This is what will largely allow in 2018 to raise wages for health workers by 200% for doctors and 100% for nurses (junior and paramedical personnel). In general, about 450 billion rubles have already been reserved for increasing salaries for medical workers, which guarantees the payment of increased salaries to doctors for the entire period of 2018.

Info

Although checks were previously carried out and violations were identified regarding the increase in salaries for doctors in remote regions, the State nevertheless monitors and, identifying violations, exerts appropriate influence, demanding compliance and increasing salaries for doctors even where it would seem that nothing is being checked. Salary increase for Moscow doctors in 2018 New salary increase programs have been developed for medical workers in Moscow in 2018.

Russian nurses demanded that orderlies be left with low salaries

Moscow Mayor Sergei Semyonovich Sobyanin, speaking at the annual report to deputies of the State Duma, expressed his opinion on the salaries of Moscow doctors. In his opinion, in 2018 it should be no lower than 120,000 rubles.

Also, based on data on the work of health workers, he noted that the Department of Health should make a number of improvements and reduce the workload and overwork that almost all health workers experience, which is why the overall level of provision of medical services is falling. As for additional programs, Moscow doctors can receive the status of “Moscow Doctor,” thereby receiving a salary increase equal to 15,000 rubles for 5 years.

At the Kineshma hospital (which has branches in Zavolzhsk and Yuryevets) we were told that nurses’ salaries are now about 3 thousand more than nurses’ salaries. The fact that they will be equal in 2018 also raises many questions among workers, but you cannot go against the resolution.
«

Important

We are following the road map clearly,” adds Lyubov Deryabkina, head physician of the Lukh Hospital. – In different districts, the salaries of medical staff vary, and therefore an order was sent down from above on how many percent to increase salaries in this municipality. But the goal is one: to raise wages to the level of the regional average.

Nurses Forum

It is impossible to equate five years of study and just school. People will just start leaving. This trend is already underway,” nurse Ekaterina Khromova told Life. Representatives of health workers' trade unions also spoke out in defense of the nurses. Experts wrote a letter to Vladimir Putin in which they ask to prevent such an approach to calculating wages. -

In our opinion, we just need to admit that there are already serious shortcomings. And there is only one way out of this situation: either by any means to prevent such an equalization, or to make an increase for the middle level of medical staff by at least 110%, and leave 100% for the nurses.

This would, of course, be optimal,” Natalya Alexandrova, chairman of the Sakhalin regional organization of the trade union of healthcare workers, commented to Life. Regional authorities, in turn, talk about the possibility of maintaining the difference in wages through incentive payments and bonuses.

Unfair salary

In December, the Borzya-Vesti newspaper reported that a nurse in Borzya complained about a salary lower than that of orderlies. The difference is 7 thousand rubles. A nurse earns 15 thousand rubles, and a nurse earns 22 thousand. Then there was a feeling that this was some kind of special case and, perhaps, the nurse washed the floors in several shifts for someone on vacation, and therefore earned more one-time. But everything turned out to be larger. There have been reports from other hospitals that, approximately since October, the salaries of orderlies have been sharply increased, while wages for nurses and doctors have been kept at the same level. "

Nurses (even senior ones) received less wages than nurses. Of course, we are glad that wages are being increased, but why such leveling? To humiliate doctors like this - why then study, take exams, confirm qualifications? ”, the newspaper quoted the words of the nurse.

Average salary in the hospital: doctors and nurses will divide the money of nurses

A similar reaction among nurses, laboratory assistants and paramedics was caused by the prospect of receiving the same salary as orderlies by 2018 in connection with the May presidential decrees. Russian doctors opposed the equalization of wages for middle and junior medical staff. The reason for such discontent was the May presidential decree. Thus, according to the budget policy for 2018-2019, wages in the industry should be 100% of the average salary in the region for both a nurse and an orderly.

This, according to nurses, will completely devalue their work and will also push for mass layoffs. - Equalizing completely different categories is absolutely unprofitable and, in my opinion, even impractical. Doctors and nurses studied this profession, but nurses did not.

That is, you can easily finish nine classes and go wash the floors, and they will teach you how to properly care for the sick.
