The government has made a controversial decision that could have significant implications for public health as well as employees. Soon, telephone medical leave will be completely abolished, and from the first day of illness, employees will be required to provide a medical certificate.
Increased Pressure on Medical Centers
The head of a medical union has explicitly warned that this change will confront medical centers with a flood of patients and will turn them into a kind of "writing house" for employers. These concerns indicate the likelihood of increased waiting times and reduced quality of healthcare services at a time when many people need medical assistance.
This decision not only affects the quality of life of employees but could also lead to increased pressure on the healthcare system. Are these changes truly in the interest of society or merely designed to benefit employers?
