As they wrote on February 18 in social networks, “employees of the Simferopol ambulance service are quitting en masse due to the enormous workload and low salaries.” And this is in a situation where the so-called “Crimean republican center for disaster medicine and emergency medical care” already does not have enough specialists, approximately 40-50% of the “list personnel.”
At the same time, as the doctors themselves write, “one substation of 4-5 cars handles an average of 90 calls per day,” and “in order to be on time for everything, we have to reduce the time per patient.” At the same time, as health workers report, “resident doctors have been banned from working part-time in the ambulance service,” despite the fact that 38 people already want to leave the Crimean ambulance service.
As doctors point out, the level of salaries in the ambulance service from the occupiers is “as much as” 25 thousand rubles for a “full-time” position, while “the incentives were cut a year ago to a mocking 150 rubles”, and “some workers have not yet received part of the money for January”, and “the management justifies itself by the lack of funds from the ministry of health”.
In such conditions, the remaining doctors are forced to work one and a half to two positions, practically to the point of exhaustion, in order to receive a total of “fantastic” 35-40 thousand rubles.
At the same time, as we learned from our Simferopol sources, the main form of “improving management” in the criminal “ministry of health” is seen exclusively as “strengthening ideological work”, as well as “strengthening interaction” with the occupiers’ punishers, regarding the intimidation of “too talkative doctors” and their “thorough checks”, both for “everyday corruption” and concerning “waiters and enemies of Russia”.
