Health Ministry clarifies foreign medical staff hiring
The Ministry of Health of the Government of National Unity has confirmed that reports circulating about approving salaries or financial amounts for contracting doctors and nursing staff from abroad are not accurate at this time. No official contracts have been signed with any other countries. The ministry is currently studying the needs and evaluating options from various countries to provide the necessary medical staff in accordance with appropriate conditions and costs, while ensuring that any future contracts are officially announced with detailed information. This move comes amid a severe shortage of nursing and medical staff, especially in remote and inland areas, where the problem has led to the closure of some departments or their operation at reduced capacity, impacting the delivery of healthcare services to citizens. The ministry emphasized that priority will be given to locally trained personnel and that efforts are underway to improve working conditions, increase incentives, and ensure fair distribution of medical staff. Any recruitment from abroad will be a temporary measure aimed at filling the gap and immediately improving services, not a replacement for national competencies. The health sector employs approximately 350,000 personnel, with medical doctors constituting less than 10% of that number. The ministry places great importance on recruiting and enhancing the conditions of local staff to meet healthcare needs across all regions.
