URA: We support the union's demands for a salary increase for middle-level medical and non-medical staff

"The intensity and conditions in which nurses, technicians, pharmaceutical technicians, physiotherapists and non-medical workers work best speak to the necessity of increasing salaries, because today they are the lowest paid professional professions in Montenegro, and they have enormous social, personal and professional responsibility," the GP URA statement said.

The civic movement URA announced tonight that it supports the union's demands for an increase in salaries for middle-level medical and non-medical staff, regretting that medical workers have been put in a situation where they have to protest to exercise their rights.

"The intensity and conditions in which nurses, technicians, pharmaceutical technicians, physiotherapists and non-medical workers work best speak to the necessity of increasing salaries, because today they are the lowest paid professional professions in Montenegro, and they have enormous social, personal and professional responsibility," the GP URA statement states.

The party, led by Dritan Abazović, added that their MPs are at the disposal of the unions of medical and non-medical staff, in order to help improve the working conditions and earnings of nurses, technicians, pharmaceutical technicians, physiotherapists and non-medical staff in the Montenegrin healthcare system through their activities in the Parliament.

A protest by the Health Trade Union of Montenegro was held in front of the Ministry of Health earlier today.

The basic requirement is that employees with a secondary education in the healthcare system of Montenegro require that, as of September 1, 2025, their coefficient cannot be calculated below 7,50, and that other coefficients increase proportionally to the level of qualification.
