41.3% still haven't figured out whether the relevant government regulation is applicable to them.
Since the beginning of this year, certain categories of medical workers in Russia have been receiving additional payments ranging from 4,000 to 18,500 rubles per month.
The professional medical service Aktion Medicine conducted a survey which revealed that many managers of medical institutions still do not have a clear idea of which employees are entitled to these additional payments.
According to experts interviewed by Kommersant, the criteria for receiving these additional payments have been developed too complicated and in some cases may be unfair. Representatives of the Ministry of Health said they are ready to consider individual cases involving non-payments.
According to the government decree № 2568, from January 1, 2023, doctors of central district hospitals will receive an additional 18.5 thousand rubles per month; primary care doctors - 14.5 thousand rubles; emergency doctors - 11.5 thousand rubles; specialists with secondary medical education in central, district and district hospitals - 8 thousand rubles; paramedics and nurses of emergency stations (departments) - 7 thousand rubles; junior medical staff of these institutions - 4.5 thousand rubles.
The survey conducted by "Aktion Medicine" among 2416 doctors and medical workers with secondary medical education revealed that 46.6% of respondents know for sure about the possibility of additional payments, 12.1% are sure that they are not entitled to them.
Since the beginning of this year, certain categories of medical workers in Russia have been receiving additional payments ranging from 4,000 to 18,500 rubles per month.
However, 41.3% of respondents still doubt whether these payments are applicable to them. Among them, 18% - doctors and medical staff of outpatient polyclinic facilities, and 15% - doctors and medical staff of central district hospitals, district and neighborhood hospitals. According to the government decree, all these categories of medical workers are entitled to additional payments.
Among those surveyed, 51% of medical workers reported that they had studied the decree or had looked for information on the amount of additional payments themselves. 20% decided not to go into details and simply asked the management to clarify the amount of payments. Some appealed to "the prosecutor's office and the ministry" because of the lack or insufficient amount of additional payments.
