The State Health Services Organization (OKYpY) should submit a new proposal by Monday in relation to the provision of financial incentives to doctors, as was decided on Thursday during the session of the Parliamentary Committee on Health where the representatives of OKypY and the representatives of the doctors' unions of the Pancypriot Union of Government Doctors (PASYKI) and Pancypria Union of Public Servants (PASYDY).
In his intervention, the President of the Health Committee, Efthymios Diplaros, addressed an appeal to bridge the gap of opinions of the doctors and the OKYPY, noting that "the goal of the Committee is to help everyone with our actions so that the golden ratio is found and there are no disturbances in the field of health".
Mr. Diplaros, as well as the other MPs of the Committee, asked the OKYpY to submit a new proposal in order to "unlock the process until Monday" and to prevent the announced 48-hour strike of the doctors, which the President of the OKypY, Marinos Kallis, accepted.
Both inside and afterwards, in their statements, the representatives of PASYKI and PASYDY pointed out that the 48-hour strike is the first measure, noting that if a solution to their satisfaction is found by Monday, the strike will be lifted.
The strike was announced in relation to the disagreement surrounding the 2023 financial incentives for doctors, with the doctors' request to provide €2 million more than what OKYpY is offering them by invoking a study by an independent financial house.
