Many Doctors Refuse to Sign New Contract With Gov't

Hungarian physicians have to sign a new contract by the end of this week to be able to continue working in public care after March 1st. Under the new agreement, the base salary of doctors will increase significantly, but there might be a major setback in the additional benefits, so much so that for some it could fully negate the promised pay increase. As a result, employees of several hospitals across the country seem to be rejecting the contract, endangering the proper functioning of the healthcare system.
Major wage hike for doctors but only with strict conditions
Parliament approved the bill of a major wage hike for physicians last October. The new law grants a 120% salary increase to doctors in Hungary in three steps, reaching its maximum in January 2023. The law also criminalizes gratuities offered as bribes and sets a limit on the value of non-cash gifts from patients to doctors at five percent of the monthly minimum wage.
