Romanian Doctors Eye EU Jobs

Lascar stated Thursday that the Ministry of Health has registered some 3,000 requests for the acknowledgement of training, in view of working in a hospital within the EU, while 1,900 doctors are already employed in EU hospitals.

Of the total 521 requests already issued by CMB, the most – 158 (30.3%) – were for employment in French hospitals, 144 (27.6%) in England, 40 (7.7%) in Belgium, 35 (6.7%) in Italy, 31 (5.95%) in Sweden, 29 (5.96%) in Germany, 22 (4.22%) in Ireland and 21 (4.03%) in Spain.

According to Lascar, the doctors’ exodus is a very complex material and social problem, starting from the lack of motivation for the doctors.
