Okypy proposal by Monday to avert doctors’ strike

Okypy proposal by Monday to avert doctors’ strike

State health services Okypy will be submitting a new proposal by Monday regarding the millions of euros in incentives state hospital doctors are demanding.

Submitting the proposal was decided at a House health committee meeting on Thursday, attended by Okypy and trade unions Pasyki and Pasydy.

Committee president Efthymios Diplaros said the aim was to find common ground to avoid any hiccups in the health sector.

About 650 state hospital doctors, set to receive €19.1 million over and above their salaries, overtime and allowances, to keep up financially with their private sector peers, are to go on strike demanding a further €2 million be added to that amount, a move state health services Okypy says could cost lives.

Pasyki union has announced a 48-hour strike for the end of the month.

Diplaros and other MPs called on Okypy to make another effort to avert the strike.

Okypy president Marinos Kallis agreed to prepare a new proposal.
