Ukrainian doctors join the request of Olga Golubovska, a member of the operational staff to fight against Covid-19, not to accept the draft budget for 2021 in its current form and threaten to stage a national strike if they are not heeded.
Medics launched a #vryatuilykarya flash mob on social networks.
The doctors demand that the Ukrainian authorities fulfill their promise and raise their salaries. Doctors say in their appeals that they earn 6-7 — 8 thousand hryvnias, and this is not enough to live on.
"My official salary is 5 hryvnias. We cannot live with such a salary as it is now. I really want to hope that you, as people's deputies, will care about the future of our country, about what our nation will be like. I hope for your mind, for your humane attitude towards medical workers," Vladimir Kudymov, a doctor at a children's anti-tuberculosis hospital, said in one of the videos.
