Berisha: We will double the budget for Health and Education, we will open

DP Chairman Sali Berisha has promised to double the budget for Health and Education.

Beridha also expressed his support for the opening of another Faculty of Medicine, emphasizing that measures must be taken to avoid a depletion of medical personnel.

Berisha: They cannot afford it. 1,000 have left per year, imagine when these people retire this year. We are heading towards a frightening depletion of medical personnel. Therefore, we will open a second medical faculty with absolute priority and we will try to greatly increase admissions to these two universities in order to respond to this vacuum with very serious consequences for the health of society,' said Berisha during the meeting with the students.

Now, this is more or less some data, but we are determined to transform this situation. First, we will double the budget for health, we will double the budget for education. Second, there will be no doctors or nurses in hospitals if you don't pay them very, very well. What did Hungary do when Covid hit? It brought the salaries of its doctors close to the Germans, because they were fleeing to Germany.

Could the state do this? Absolutely. Of course there is a price, but you will provide the service. You will not provide it by telling them you will stay here after your studies.

You will increase salaries. Until 2013, there were few people leaving. A salary in 2013 had a purchasing power three times greater than a salary today. This has been proven.

So we pledge to double the salaries of doctors and nurses. We will set a minimum salary of 1,500 euros for teachers with the aim of making them feel in function of the great mission they have.

We will have to open another medical faculty. They can't afford it. 1,000 have left this year, imagine when these people retire this year. We are heading towards a terrible depletion of medical personnel.

Therefore, we will, with absolute priority, open a second medical faculty and will try to greatly increase admissions to these two universities in order to respond to this vacuum with very serious consequences for the health of society.
