The Pleuris law, which in extraordinary circumstances can to oblige private doctors to contribute to the National Health Service, is preparing to activate in less than two weeks the Ministry of Health.

The aim is to cover the huge gaps in pathologists in the region’s hospitals, as was decided according to information at today’s (Thursday) meeting at the Ministry of Health.

THE Adonis Georgiades had warned the doctors, with the Medical Associations and agencies, to respond that this is not an emergency as it was during the pandemic period. In his letter o Panhellenic Medical Association.talks about the health minister’s threatening statements, noting that “direct or veiled threats are completely unjustified, apart from the fact that they will actually make the problem worse, which we assume you do not intend”. The letter in detail.

The health minister had invited private doctors to work in public hospitals to fill the gaps that exist, but the vast majority of them refused.

The leadership of the Ministry of Health cannot show indifference to the under-functioning of provincial hospitals, Mr. Georgiadis stressed, and will proceed in a kind of demandas announced at the 15th Pharma and Health Conference.

The minister said that in a consensual mood, the governors had already called on private doctors to “come without pressure” to help hospitals with barren job vacancies, but across the country out of 140, 105 answered negatively, 14 maybe and 11 we accept.
