Serbia is left with a deficit of 1.000 doctors and nurses: These are the two countries they are leaving for!

Serbia will lose more than 1,000 doctors, therapists and experienced medical technicians in 2015, learns the Informer. Our health care workers are applying in large amounts for work in Germany and Norway, where they can earn between 2,000 and 5,000 euros.

These countries allow foreigners to easily nostrificate their diplomas, under one condition, that they learn the language.

According to the National Employment Service, the Bureau of Labor currently houses 18, 209 health care workers. Some of them volunteer in hospitals just to pass the licensing exam, in order to leave for another country.

Jovana Bepac from Vrsac is just one of the many nurses who is planning to leave the country because of poor working conditions.

-I'm leaving because I have no hope that I will be able to find a job here. And even if I were to get a job one day, the working conditions here and in Norway are incomparable. Nurses here are doing things that aren't in their job description - says Jovana, and adds that our nurses have no problem nostrificating their diplomas in Norway. Besides, Norway's health care facilities prefer to hire experts from Serbia.

According to Ljiljana Nesovic, the president of the Union of Nurses, and Medical Technicians at the Clinical Center of Serbia, many healthcare facilities are faced with a lack of trained personnel due to a large outflow of medical

workers to foreign countries. According to her, nurses are currently the weakest link in medicine.

-Nurses in Serbia can earn a maximum of 40, 000 dinars. In addition to their job duty, they often do work as manual laborers, maids and transporters, so no wonder they are leaving from here - concludes Ljiljana Nesovic.
