Overseas Network November 6th. In recent days, the number of confirmed cases of new coronavirus pneumonia in Polish has been rising. Data from the Polish Ministry of Health shows that on November 4 alone, the number of new confirmed cases reached 27,143. Poland is facing a shortage of doctors, nursing staff and intensive care units, and the health care system is approaching its limit. In order to alleviate the tense medical system, the Polish government sought to absorb more than 1,000 doctors from abroad, and even offered high salaries doubled. This plan made Belarusian worry. Belarusian President Lukashenko shouted to the doctor about this matter at a recent meeting that he did not force anyone to stay here, but if you go abroad, there will be no turning back. The origin of the incident was a decision recently announced by the Polish government. According to the Polish news website "Note of Poland", the Polish government is seeking to absorb more than 1,000 doctors from abroad, most of which are from Ukraine and Belarus. Polish Ministry of Health officials explained that Belarusian and Ukrainian doctors are most likely to answer calls because of the smaller language barriers and many doctors have already obtained diploma certification in Poland. Polish Health Minister Adam Niedzielski announced on social networking website that he has asked the National Health Fund (NFZ), which funded the Polish public health system, to double the wages of medical workers fighting the new coronavirus. He said the salary increase was to express gratitude to the frontline staff. Currently, the ruling Polish party is also seeking to pass legislation so that doctors outside the EU can get certified in Poland faster and easier and start working.
Poland's neighbor Belarus is greatly affected by this plan. The Belarusian State News Agency (BelTA) reported on the 5th that Belarus held a meeting to discuss measures to fight the new crown pneumonia. At the meeting, Belarus President Lukashenko talked about Poland's plan to absorb foreign doctors. Lukashenko said a few days ago, Poland announced plans to absorb foreign doctors such as Belarus in order to deal with the new coronavirus. They particularly like to visit Belarusian doctors and invite them to Poland to assist the Polish people and the government. "But I want to say that we don't have any extra doctors, we need doctors to treat our people," Lukashenko said. "However, we have not forced anyone to stay here. This is our principle. However, one must remember that if you go abroad, there is no way back. You will stay there and earn the money you leave your homeland." Lukashenko emphasized that this is not a threat, but a government order. Lukashenko added that everyone has their own place and there is no need to set up barriers for those who are eager to make big money. (Overseas Network Chen Yanan)
