"I have been working at this hospital for years. Wards, wards have been added, the place is growing. But the staff? For decades the same staff. It is absurd," he said. "To be heard. The situation is becoming unbearable. It is neither real nor humane. There are no standards in the field of administration and the economy in the hospitals, and the state is collapsing in this field."



"We have become accustomed to being transparent workers, to being slaves, not only here in Poria, but in all government hospitals," he added. "Praise the medical staff during the Corona period, but who mentioned the facts of the economy? These facts that can not take a day off for fear that they will not be able to close the month. Who mentioned the auxiliaries? But they treated with devotion and were there nights. We need to wake up and take care of it properly so that we do not collapse. "

The technical services center at Poria Hospital, Rahamim Hamus, protested that while other areas of the hospitals are developing and receiving budgets, the administration and the economy are left behind.

"I have been working at the hospital for almost 40 years, I see the development and momentum of the hospital and I am grateful for that as a citizen of the country. As a hospital worker all this momentum is not felt at all," he said.



"For many years the maintenance team at the hospital is made up of the same amount of workers, all this development is not measured at all when it comes to the administrative sector of the hospital. "They have reached a point where, in order to save their souls from the daily work pressures that exist in all government hospitals, they are asking for sick days for peace of mind."
