SLK rejects the idea of ​​SaS to return tuition fees, increasing the number of doctors welcome

) welcomes the fact that three medical schools must host other medical students, as requested by Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini (Smer-SD). The idea of ​​a SaS graduating from a medical school leaving the school after working abroad and not returning within five years should allow him to reimburse fees schooling, refuses SLK.

The Pellegrini step positively evaluates the chamber. "We consider this to be one of the measures that will help us complete the absence of medical posts in Slovakia," said SLK President Marian Kollár. However, he stressed the need for many other measures to be taken quickly. "Not only in terms of stabilizing doctors, but by all health professionals as such."

The idea of ​​SaS SLK is not approved. "The Slovak Medical Chamber fundamentally rejects the application of additional sanctions or repressive measures against doctors," Kollar said. The problem of the shortage of skilled labor in Slovakia must be addressed systematically and not tearing the medical profession out of all the other equally deficient professions

. "We are of the opinion that the lack of doctors and other qualified health professionals can not be approached by taking restrictive or repressive measures, but on the contrary, the motivation, the attractiveness and therefore the creation of the best conditions for the work of these professions in our home, "says Kollár

of the medical profession in Slovakia." This is mainly to finance the health care and health services that the doctors do, "said Kollar.

The cancellation of financial limits by health care providers of health insurance companies to attract younger doctors under SLK is not enough." In addition, health insurance companies are evaluated to shorten the length of waiting periods in outpatient care, so that existing physicians who provide ambulatory health care in the system can not s be permanently "

Jana Cigániková from the SaS opposition said Monday at a press conference that the Slovak Republic is a producer of doctors for the European Union and the world it It's time to think of a virtual account to study medicine. If a medical graduate left school after school to work abroad and would not return within five years, his virtual account would become real and he would have to pay for it. The student would commit to follow such a procedure before the start of the study. Branislav Gröhling of SaS later added that it is not appropriate that such a measure be introduced only for doctors. If that were to happen, it should be for everyone.

In response to the idea of ​​SaS, the Ministry of Health said it was looking for positive solutions to motivate medical school graduates to stay in Slovakia. The constructive suggestions of the Ministry are welcome, the idea of ​​SaS must be analyzed if it is legally feasible from the point of view of the EU on the free movement of persons
