Abutlebi: We don't have a shortage of nurses; We lack the will to employ them. During the covid-19 pandemic, the nurses were treated like day laborers and then dumped! President of the Supreme Council of the Nurses' Organization:
We certainly have no shortage of nurses; What we lack is the determination and desire to employ them. During the epidemic we faced a shortage of paid workers, so to manage the crisis we relied on volunteers and nurses whose service contracts were extended. The service contracts of some of these nurses were extended up to 5 years, but eventually, after the end of the Covid-19 crisis, they were released.
