The Libyan government has proposed a 75% salary increase for healthcare workers in an effort to improve their working conditions and enhance the quality of medical services provided to citizens. The proposal, led by the Ministry of Health under Prime Minister Osama Hamad, has been submitted to the relevant authorities in the House of Representatives for review and approval. This move aims to address the challenges faced by healthcare workers and improve the overall healthcare system in Libya.
According to Dr. Abdul Salam Aqila, Deputy Minister of Health, the proposal is part of the ministry's priorities to improve the working conditions of healthcare workers, considering their crucial role in operating healthcare institutions and providing medical services to citizens. The ministry has prepared a comprehensive proposal to address the issues faced by healthcare workers, based on a study conducted by a specialized committee that included various categories of workers in the sector.
The proposed 75% salary increase is expected to be implemented in accordance with the law, which includes special tables for medical and paramedical jobs. The increase will be accompanied by the preservation of allowances, bonuses, and job distinctions, ensuring that the different categories of workers in the sector are covered. This move is part of the government's efforts to support the healthcare sector and improve the living standards of its workers.
The proposal has received support from the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Aguila Saleh, who approved the increase in salaries for healthcare workers, similar to other sectors in the country. The proposal is currently under review by the legislative and financial committees of the House of Representatives, and once approved, it will be implemented after completing the necessary procedures.
The Ministry of Health has emphasized that improving the financial and job conditions of healthcare workers is essential to enhancing the sector's ability to continue providing medical services to citizens. The workers in the sector continue to perform their duties in challenging circumstances, with shortages of some medicines and equipment. Therefore, improving their conditions is a critical part of the healthcare sector's reform and development.
The proposed salary increase is one of the measures aimed at addressing the challenges faced by the healthcare sector, which is crucial for the stability and continuity of medical services in Libya. The sector's workers, including medical and paramedical staff, play a vital role in providing healthcare services to citizens, and their stability and job satisfaction are essential for the sector's efficiency.
The implementation of the proposed salary increase will depend on the completion of the legislative and financial procedures, and the approval of the House of Representatives. Once implemented, the increase is expected to have a positive impact on the living standards of healthcare workers and the overall quality of medical services provided to citizens in Libya.
