Rogobete: România riscă un nou val de migrație a medicilor dacă le sunt reduse veniturile

Former Health Minister Alexandru Rogobete warns that reducing medical staff salaries may lead to an increase in doctors leaving for work abroad. He emphasizes that future health reforms should focus on attracting Romanian doctors back home. Rogobete notes a decline in requests for professional documents needed to work abroad, attributing this to improved salaries and conditions in the healthcare system. However, he cautions that salary cuts could reverse this trend, creating a human resource issue that ultimately affects patients. He advocates for appropriate remuneration and a national program to encourage expatriate doctors to return, arguing against salary reductions as a reform tool.
