Union on Tuesday backed the requests of the Croatian Doctors' Union
and its strike announced for January 15. #L#
Highly sophisticated health technologies and the complexity of
health issues require a highly educated and professional staff, the
Doctors' Union said in a statement. In order for health workers to
respond to the demands of their profession, they must receive
sufficient salaries and have an adequate social status, it added.
The Doctors' Union has requested an increase in salaries to two
average salaries for the novice doctor (about 7,000 kuna -- EUR933)
and to two and a half salaries for specialists (about 9,000 kuna --
EUR1,200).
