The government is planning to raise doctors and nurses’ salaries by 10% for three successive years in order to stabilise the sector and put an end to the ongoing brain drain. The head of government said the pay hike for next year had already been settled and the government would seek to secure in money in 2018 and 2019 as well, if it won another term in office. The healthcare system is plagued by an increasing age of doctors and the departure of fresh graduates of medical schools abroad.
