Concerns Over Nurse Shortage and Delayed Solutions
January 27, 2026
Private healthcare facilities are expressing concern over the shortage of nurses and the stagnation in finding solutions to the issue. The Ministry of Health has begun new discussions, but nurses disagree with the proposals. The rejection of certain legislative amendments has angered the Employers and Industrialists Federation. Representatives are calling for the abolition of the master's degree requirement for hiring nurses from third countries. They emphasize that if the situation continues, they will have to reduce the number of beds in healthcare facilities.
