After countless days of volunteer, unpaid work, their daily exceeding their limits of endurance, the cumulation of normal years who have not received so far, colleagues are directly threatened by the Minister of Health, while responding to the reality of the Aegean,
The issue has been highlighted through official documents that have been submitted to the 2nd Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Health, through Aegina Society’s interventions, positions of EINAP and OENGE, as well as through press reports.
No voice of anxiety and mobilization to date has been heard by the leadership of the Ministry of Health, no staffing request has been answered, with the Health Center operating with uncovered ambulance drivers, now nurses and the inability to cover on -call medical staff.
Legal repo, rest, are acquired rights. Unless the Minister thinks that all the shifts of the month can be covered, ie 3 8 hours a day for 30 days by 3 drivers each month!
