„Boom” al concediilor medicale: „Se trage din pandemie” / Țara de lângă noi unde 1 din 3 angajați și-a luat concediu medical anul trecut

European countries, including Romania, are facing a surge in medical leave, attributed to pandemic habits and health deterioration. Bulgaria reports high rates of medical leave, with one in three employees taking time off. In Romania, over 3.2 million medical certificates were issued in 2024, reflecting a significant issue. Experts link the rise in medical leave to chronic health problems and changing societal attitudes towards illness post-pandemic. Governments are seeking solutions to manage costs and prevent abuse of medical leave benefits.
