Resident doctors in Romania may start receiving payment for on-call duties from their first year of training. Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete aims to implement this by the end of 2026. The announcement followed a meeting with representatives from the Resident Doctors Society and the College of Physicians. Current issues include unpaid on-call duties and administrative delays affecting their professional development. Rogobete emphasized the need for equitable remuneration across all training years and criticized the treatment of resident doctors in hospitals. Proposed changes also include administrative reforms for study recognition and specialty exams, although no specific timeline has been provided yet.
