The Sejm passed the law on salary limits for medical professionals

On Thursday, the Polish Sejm voted on a law limiting medical salaries, with 229 in favor and 144 against. The law was supported by KO, Left, Center, Polish 2050, and PSL-Third Way, while most PiS members opposed it. The new regulations restrict medical professionals' working hours and require at least half-time employment. Consent from current employers is needed for additional jobs. The law also sets a maximum hourly rate and monthly salary limits. Additionally, it enhances the control capabilities of the NFZ and the Medical Technology Assessment Agency.
