Update from November 15, 9:15 p.m.:
Poland currently has more than 25,000 new infections with the
corona virus
every day
.
The situation in the neighboring German country is coming to a head.
In a personal letter, Federal President
Frank-Walter Steinmeier
responded,
among other things, to the critical situation - and offered Germany's help.
But this is evidently only met with very limited approval.
"Shouldn't the German gentlemen send Polish doctors who work in the German health care system to Poland during the pandemic," said PiS MP Joanna Lichocka, according to Focus.de of the tabloid "Fakt".
Previously, President Andrzej Duda had already rejected the offered support for the time being - and apparently hits the tone of the Polish ruling party “Law and Justice” (PiS).
The use of
Polish doctors
living in Germany
should then also be paid for by Germany, Lichocka railed in the fact interview.
This reaction apparently
provokes outrage among
doctors working in Poland
.
"Every doctor who strengthens health in the fight against the pandemic is worth gold," said rheumatologist Bartosz Fialek to the newspaper.
Rather, efforts should be made to find more attractive conditions for doctors in Poland so that they do not migrate.
