About 1,300 nurses left the country during the pandemic
The Independent Union of All United Nurses (SITEU) has highlighted the lack of appreciation of the nurses by the Government, which led to about 1,300 professionals leaving the country during the covid-19 pandemic. The complaint is made in an open letter from this union, created in early 2020, addressed to the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
