Special allowances will be provided to corona-supporting medical staff National Hospital Organization May 13 11:09

It turned out that the independent administrative corporations that operate national hospitals all over the country are making adjustments to provide special allowances to medical personnel who are responding to the new coronavirus.

The National Hospital Organization, an independent administrative agency that operates 141 national hospitals nationwide, such as the National Hospital Organization Okinawa Hospital in Ginowan City, Okinawa Prefecture, is considering paying the allowance.

After the end of January this year, doctors and nurses at national hospitals that support the new coronavirus will receive 3000 yen per day.

In addition, for work that directly contacts the patient, 4000 yen will be paid per day, and the National Hospital Organization wants to start payment as soon as coordination with the labor union side and necessary procedures are completed.

For medical workers who deal with the new coronavirus, there are widespread movements by local governments to provide allowances and support through donations, and the National Hospital Organization says, "Medical treatment at the forefront side by side with danger. We would like to extend the allowance to the employees in order to thank them. "
