The Tunisian Parliament has promised to take steps to address the unemployment of doctors in the country. On October 2, Parliament speaker Brahim Bouderbala met with Imen Baccouch, a member of the local council of Ezzahra, and Hatem Ben Jemaa, who is responsible for the file of unemployed doctors. Bouderbala pledged to transmit the dossier of unemployed doctors to the competent parliamentary commission for necessary hearings. He assured that the legislative body is willing to make efforts to promote the employment of these competencies within its prerogatives.

The unemployment of doctors has been a persistent issue in Tunisia. According to Ben Jemaa, the file of unemployed doctors has not yet found a definitive solution. He pointed out the limitations of recruitment competitions, which do not fully respond to the needs of this category, given the limited number of positions open in certain specialties. The two interlocutors called on the Parliament to work towards establishing a comprehensive approach to employment, allowing for better integration of these competencies and offering them real professional prospects.

The goal is to valorize the expertise of doctors in the fields of education and scientific research. Bouderbala emphasized the importance of preserving Tunisian competencies and elites, and giving them the required attention. He highlighted the value of the doctoral degree, considered the highest university degree in higher education, and called for better valorization of the competencies it represents.

The meeting was seen as a positive step towards addressing the issue of unemployment among doctors. Bouderbala's pledge to transmit the dossier to the parliamentary commission has raised hopes that the issue will be given the attention it deserves. The commission is expected to hold hearings and explore possible solutions to the problem.

The issue of unemployment among doctors is a pressing concern in Tunisia. Many doctors are struggling to find employment, despite having the highest level of qualification in their field. The situation is exacerbated by the limited number of positions available in certain specialties.

The Tunisian government has been criticized for its handling of the issue. Many have called for a comprehensive approach to employment, one that takes into account the needs of the labor market and the qualifications of available candidates. The Parliament's pledge to address the issue is seen as a step in the right direction.

The outcome of the Parliament's efforts remains to be seen. However, the pledge to address the issue of unemployment among doctors has been welcomed by those affected. It is hoped that the parliamentary commission will be able to find a solution to this pressing problem.
