The Romanian Minister of Health, Alexandru Rogobete, announced plans to include resident doctors in the payment system for on-call duties and to update payment rates for all doctors. He emphasized that residents often work unpaid shifts and that current rates are based on 2018 salaries. Discussions with professional societies and unions are set to begin soon, although no specific timeline for implementation has been provided. Rogobete also highlighted the need for a new unified salary law to prevent healthcare staff from leaving the country, criticizing previous proposals that could have resulted in significant pay cuts for medical professionals.
