Healthcare Workers Urge Immediate Action on Compensation
The independent union representing nurses and healthcare technicians at Hassan II University Hospital in Fez has called upon the institution's management to expedite the resolution of compensation issues related to on-call and mandatory duties. This plea comes after over two years of waiting for a satisfactory outcome. The union emphasized the need for a "fair and motivating" compensation structure that acknowledges the critical roles these professionals play in ensuring continuous healthcare services, particularly during night shifts and holidays. A formal letter addressed to the hospital's general director outlines these concerns.
In a statement, the union's office reiterated that this compensation matter is of paramount importance to nursing and technical staff, given the demanding nature of their responsibilities within various hospital departments. The union has actively pursued this issue since its inception, engaging in a series of meetings and discussions with hospital officials to advocate for the necessary reforms.
During recent meetings with hospital management, attended by various administrative officials, the union stressed the necessity of implementing a compensation framework that reflects the efforts and sacrifices made by nurses and healthcare technicians. It referred to other healthcare institutions that have successfully adopted more incentivizing and equitable compensation models, aiming to set a precedent for Hassan II Hospital.
The union noted that hospital management previously acknowledged, in a signed agreement with the union, the availability of financial resources required for disbursing these compensations. It asserted that amendments made to the relevant regulations have eliminated the legal barriers that previously hindered the activation of this compensation framework. Therefore, the union is urging the swift completion of the associated administrative and technical procedures.
Healthcare professionals continue to perform their duties under "difficult and pressing" working conditions within the various departments of Hassan II University Hospital in Fez. The union expressed hope for a just resolution to this compensation issue that duly recognizes the hard work and dedication of these essential workers within the healthcare system.
In conclusion, the union has called for immediate intervention from the hospital's management to activate this compensation framework and ensure fairness for nurses and healthcare technicians, warning that delays in disbursing these compensations exacerbate tensions within the healthcare facility.
