In Montenegro, an acute shortage of health workers

Montenegro faced the problem of a shortage of medical personnel at all levels. The essence of the problem was explained by Marco Mitrovic, a member of the Democratic Party: "Obvious is the problem of shortage of specialists in certain departments of general hospitals, as well as the absence of some specialists in the territory of such medical institutions, taking into account the number of people served and the increase in the number of cases of certain diseases. It is not uncommon for some general hospitals to have only one specialist doctor who performs outpatient work five days a week by examining a large number of patients, and at the same time is obliged to lead and organize the work of the department. Moreover, some of these doctors should still operate. Using inhuman efforts, these doctors deal with a large number of patients, and, in spite of the queue, patients can wait for several months, sometimes for routine examinations. "

The only solution to the problem, he said, is a change in the approach to the health system and its reformation: accurate forecasting of the number of necessary specialists and improvement of their working conditions, which should positively affect both the doctors themselves and their interest in the work, and the quality of patient care.
