Romania Mulls ‘Legal Bribes’ to Stem Doctors’ Exodus
Only a few hundred of the doctors now working at the country’s public hospitals are aged 30 or younger.
7 October 2015
Faced with an exodus of qualified medical professionals, Romanian authorities are considering novel ways to entice them to stay, which range from wage hikes to legalized extra payments, the Washington Times writes.
The debate surrounding the additional payments – which some consider legalized bribes – started in June, when the Supreme Court ruled that doctors and other medical staff are liable for legal punishment if they accept “additional contributions” from patients, Puterea writes.
The latest legislative proposals would legalize these payments as additional fees, agreed upon by doctors and hospital management, that “would enable doctors who want to work more to also gain extra money,” Health Minister Nicolae Banicioiu said. Doctors will also be taxed on the extra income, Puterea notes.
Starting 1 October, Romanian doctors’ salaries rose by 25 percent, Romaniatv.net writes. But that will not be enough to the exodus as long as the state “invests in the education of young doctors, but, after graduation, offers them no attractive perspectives to continue working in the country,” President Klaus Iohannis said, according to EurActiv.
“Without medical infrastructure, without fair and efficient management of public money, without respect for experienced professionals, and without opportunities for young doctors and nurses, an additional 20 or 50 percent [salary increase] will not solve the problem,” he added.
- On average, Romanian doctors earn $369 per month, slightly below the average salary, the Washington Times writes.
- According to the Romanian College of Physicians, last year 2,450 doctors left the country to work abroad. That year, there were 13,521 doctors working in hospitals, down from 20,648 in 2011 and 14,487 in 2013 – just over half of the 26,000 that Romania needs.
- Of the doctors currently working, 2,961 are over 60, while only 407 are younger than 30, the College says. Another proposed law would force medical graduates whose school taxes were covered by the state to work for a number of years in Romanian hospitals, Stirileprotv.ro writes.
- Hospitals are struggling not only with understaffing but also steep budget cuts that in some cases force doctors to buy hospital supplies with their own money.
