The health system is facing a crisis of doctors, who often prefer to accept offers from abroad rather than stay in the country.
Statistical data presented by trade unions show that the number of doctors working in Romania has almost halved in the last four years.
There is also a crisis situation in Gorj and even in the ambulance.
The leadership of the Gorj County Ambulance Service has made repeated attempts to hire two doctors specializing in emergencies, but given the acute crisis of medical personnel in some specialties, no one wanted these positions.
Another problem that makes it almost impossible to co-opt new doctors is the fact that many of them are looking for work in hospitals or medical units outside the country, already during their studies, and those who are already employed in the local health system do not hesitate to leave when they have a salary offer from abroad.
“The Gorj Ambulance Service has an organizational chart of 201 positions. We currently have 194 occupied, so seven positions are vacant. As a facility, we have two vacant medical positions, one medical assistant position, two paramedic positions and two TESA staff positions. . I hope we fill them. It is a more complicated procedure for doctors. We cannot put the places out of competition until they are published in Viaţa medica, “says Marinică Niculescu, manager of the Gorj Jedețean Ambulance Service.
