The Information office of the Ministry of Public Health issued the following statement:

After many meetings were held, the work on the completion of scales has been finalized in the common committees between the government hospital employees, the administrations of hospitals and the ministries of health and finance. This came after two decisions were issued by the cabinet; one decision-in-principle and a final decision after receiving the opinion of the Civil Status Board and the Council of State. These decisions preserve the rights of the employees to get the salary scale implemented for them. After the completion of the detailed scales, work will be done in the coming days on the issuance of a decree.

We would like to thank the team of the Ministry of Finance for its collaboration, first and foremost the Minister of Finance Ali Hassan Khalil, and the administrations and employees of the government hospitals and their representatives for their close cooperation that lasted for many weeks to issue the scales.
