“In the movement we are aiming for a three-year plan to recruit doctors and especially nurses who are the most in need”: the minister of health Orazio Schillaci pointing directly to the heart of the health crisis – that is the lack of workers – and repeating this at the closing of the G7 Health in Ancona where he also announced that, against the “current pandemic the -antimicrobial resistance”, creating a fund of 21 million moves to help the discovery of new antibiotics.
The recruitment plan with priority given to nurses
Schillaci won’t provide exact numbers on recruiting while he waits to get a thorough understanding of the available talent, but the goal is to exceed 30,000 to reach 40,000 if the colleague from the Economy Giancarlo Giorgetti they will find the resources by prioritizing nurses who are in greatest need. And from Ancona he also responds to Fimmg family doctors who have declared a state of unrest and are threatening to strike because they want more resources for local support: “I am ready to listen to them, but those who do not doesn’t get a lot of pay in. Italy is the nurses, not the doctors”, affirms the minister. Which also announces that after a bilateral meeting at the G7 with the deputy minister of India, the final details have now been reached for the signing of a Protocol to bring Indian nurses to our country who have less than the Big Seven of the Earth: “They are well trained and will follow courses to learn Italian. They fill the current shortage, especially for the launch of local healthcare in which the Pnrr is investing”.
The budget budget for health care is between 2 and 3 billion
In the budget law that is expected in the Council of Ministers as early as next October 20, the Department of Health will try to get a budget of at least 2 billion which, however, is in danger of not being enough for to finance all the steps that the ministry is led by Schillaci. wants to take it home. So the effort to raise the bar was close to 3 billion because in addition to the maxi recruitment plan to be funded over three years there is an update of the hospital standards (the DRG) which has been stopped since 2012 and worth it alone. about 1 billion. These are the reimbursements that the Departments give to the Local Health Authorities – including private structures linked to the NHS – for hospital care that is in the interval between inflation and the arrival of new technologies such as robotic surgery has changed significantly as well as being in some. things are much more expensive.
Other measures for health care workers
Again to try to convince doctors and nurses not to run away from hospitals, the move will aim to free up part of the payment which is still too far from the money of their European colleagues. A flat fee of 15% will be introduced – similar to the one previously planned for overtime – on the special allowance that will cost 380 million to doctors alone and translate into a pay increase of 200-220 euros net per month. The effort to stop the exodus from the National Health Service also foresees a possible increase in the contracts of young doctors: “We are studying with Minister Giorgetti ways to encourage them to enroll in less demanding specialties”. In particular, we are assessing a 5% increase – about 100 euros more per month – for all specialists and then larger increases (a range from 250 to 390 euros is assumed) for these specialties are less attractive (for example those to work in emergency rooms) and see less than half of the grants available covered each year.
From the pandemic plan to antibiotic resistance
There will also be money in the budget to fund the 2024-2028 pandemic plan that has been in the works for almost a year: “We will provide the necessary funding for the Plan and to respond to the demands of the area. There will be resources to allow it in the Budget.” Finally, the medicines chapter should prepare for an increase in the resources dedicated to medicine costs from the current 13.3% calculated on the health fund to 13.8 percent. At the G7 Health, in addition to the fight against antimicrobials – “a silent war that is fought in laboratories and hospitals”, said Schillaci – prevention and active aging were also discussed, as well as projects to to promote pharmaceutical production capacity in Africa. a continent In the last declaration, the Seven Giants of the Earth launched an appeal to raise at least 2 billion dollars in two years for the anti-pandemic fund as well as published a document about ” opportunities and challenges” of artificial intelligence in health care. sector, a market that will reach 190 billion as early as next year.
