The Ministry of Health's New Coefficient Practice Puts Healthcare Workers in a Difficult Situation
The Ministry of Health's individual target coefficient practice increases the bureaucratic burden for physicians and healthcare workers, leading to wage cuts.
The new individual target coefficient practice implemented by the Ministry of Health increases the workload of physicians and healthcare workers while shortening the time allocated to patients and causing wage deductions.
Bureaucratic Burden and Time Constraints
It is stated that with the new coefficient practice, physicians are directed towards more bureaucratic procedures, and as a result, necessary and sufficient time cannot be allocated to patients.
Wage Deductions and Population Density
While deductions are made from physicians' salaries due to problems experienced in data updates and procedures, family physicians have to care for very crowded populations.
In the current situation, family physicians with a population potential of 3,000 have to care for between 70 and 100 patients a day.
Reactions from Unions and Chambers
Medical chambers and health unions state that the deductions that started with the regulation have increased even further with the new coefficient practice.
Wage Status of Midwives and Nurses
Güç Sağlık-Sen General President Vildan Aydın states that ceiling wage expectations are not met due to deductions and employees are victimized.
