The Ministry of Health presented the new salary scale – it was revealed how much salaries could increase

The Hungarian Ministry of Health plans to introduce a new salary scale for non-medical staff, considering qualifications and experience. A significant portion of the announced 510 billion HUF funding for the healthcare sector will be allocated to salary adjustments for 123,500 healthcare workers. The average base salary for healthcare professionals will increase by 15%, with net income potentially rising by 17% due to tax reductions. The salary adjustments will affect various roles, including nursing assistants and technical staff, and will also apply to employees in public service providers. The new salary table consists of six pay grades and 15 levels based on practical experience. The aim is to attract more young professionals to the healthcare sector and retain experienced staff, ultimately improving patient care and reducing workload.
