It was found that about 30% of medical institutions reduced the summer bonus for nurses and other things from last year. The labor union surveyed pointed out that "there may be an increase in the retirement of medical staff who work with a sense of mission while feeling the risk of being infected with the new coronavirus."

When we surveyed the summer bonus for medical institutions that the Japan Federation of Medical Workers Union is a member, of the 338 medical institutions that responded as of 30th of the last month, about 30%, 115 medical institutions had a bonus. It means that the amount was reduced from last year.

The reason for this was that the new coronavirus was affecting the number of patients who were refraining from receiving medical examinations and the business was deteriorating.

Among them, according to the labor union of Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital, the summer bonus due to the deterioration of management will be cut in full, and there are hundreds of nurses who are willing to retire.

Regarding this, Tokyo Women's Medical University Hospital says that it will not respond.

The Japan Federation of Health Workers' Union said, "Many medical workers work with a sense of mission while feeling the risk of being infected with the new coronavirus. If business difficulties continue, the bonus can be lowered at more medical institutions in winter. There is a possibility that more people may retire, so we need to take measures.”
