Healthcare salaries up by 15%, in two installments

​The representatives of the Sanitas Trade Union Federation announced that, following the discussions held on Monday at the Victoria Palace, on the topic of salary increases in the health system, they agreed on a 15% increase in basic salaries in two installments, to be granted from the months of March and June, in addition to the 5% granted for the entire budget system starting from January 1, 2024.

“There are many data to find out that we still don’t have from the other ministries, how many people there are, how many people they will have to receive. We don’t even have total amounts of money that you can say fit in or create that 20% as much as everyone would have. And we are waiting for those commissions that we established, there was already one at the Ministry of Health. The important thing is that we will receive the 15% plus 5% that already applies from January 1. So, basic salaries will increase in the next period with the 5% they gave from the beginning, plus 15% that the Government promised us”, said the Sanitas President, Leonard Bărăscu.

The first vice-president of Sanitas, Iulian Pope, stated, for his part, that the two installments of salary increases would be applied in March and June: “The installments are nailed down, March and June. It’s something I’ve cut out now. I said that there are two installments, not necessarily equal. It is important to see the impact. We do not have all the data at the moment, the sanitary system is large. We only have the data from the subordinates of the Ministry of Health and the hospitals subordinated to the local authorities. We don’t have the other data, which adds up to almost 20,000 people.”
