Health in England

More than 5,000 recruitments related to hospitals and Primary Health Care (PHC) have already “run” or are planned to proceed in 2024. The advertisements for permanent positions for doctors, nurses, and other staff are aimed at strengthening the National Health System (NHS), which has significant shortages.

Individuals with higher levels of education have longer life expectancies overall in the country, while life expectancy is shorter for those with lower levels of education, data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) showed.

The Ministry of Health is attempting to fill significant gaps in medical staff in areas of mainland Greece and the islands, with the establishment of financial incentives for 169 points on the Greek map starting from 200 euros per month and reaching up to 600 euros, even exceeding 20% of doctors’ monthly salaries, depending on their grade, specialty and region of work.

The incentives for attracting and retaining NHS doctors in problematic and barren areas were announced by Health Minister Adonis Georgiades, announcing that the Joint Ministerial Decision he co-signed with Kostis Hatzidakis was signed and sent for publication in the Official Gazette.

In the final government review for July, the Prime Minister refers to the 50th anniversary of the restoration of Democracy, developments in health and education, the operation of myCoast, and the results of the Panhellenic exams.

Emergency services, including an air ambulance, are at the scene

The epidemiological situation leaves no room for misinterpretation. The fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is strong, the Delta variant has penetrated all Greek communities, and its transmission has become very rapid. It takes just one fissure in self-protection measures and a lag in vaccinations to create a new locus of super-spreading.

The Prime Minister stressed the importance of the NHS

In April last year, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson thanked the doctors and nurses who saved his life after he spent days in hospital intensive care with Covid-19.

In an emotional address on television, he promised all the necessary funds for the state-run National Health Service (NHS), which is Europe's biggest employer.

The military & NHS teams are to use quick turnaround tests on the hauliers, who come from all around Europe & are desperate to get home
