Compensation is not a form of blackmail

We remind Minister Pintea that resident physicians receive a salary from the Ministry of Health's budget because of their work in clinics and hospitals for the benefit of the sick and that this remuneration can not be used as a form of blackmail. later to force doctors to: practice in a certain place. In fact, in decision no. 5/2015 states that such attempts to compel resident doctors to practice in a particular place (the resident in office) are illegal and constitute a violation of the right to work and an abusive complaint against the provisions of the Labor Code, which Article 159 states: "Employees are entitled to a salary for work performed under a contract of employment". Specifically, the Court's decision states: "It can not be remembered that the activity of a resident physician is simply a teaching activity and that his remuneration is a tuition expense".

"He does not know the realities of the system"

In addition, Minister Pintea proves that he does not know the realities of the system. The number of positions and places taken in the residency competition is not established in a transparent procedure that takes into account the real needs of the system, and the medical specialties for which places and positions in residential training are withdrawn from the competition are not correlated to needs. real labor market. The conditions in which young doctors can work in Romania are not adapted to their professional training and work in extremely fatigued conditions, without equipment or health equipment, without basic drugs or disinfectants, often pushed to violate therapeutic protocols. . As a result, the national Liberal youth is urging Minister Pintea to withdraw his statements on the restriction of medical residents' rights to mobility and the resignation of their functions.
