Jokar: It is not enough to honor nurses without paying their demands

Yazd- Chairman of the Assembly of Representatives of Yazd Province emphasized the need to pay the demands of nurses and said: It is not enough to honor nurses without addressing their livelihood problems, legal rights and working conditions.

According to the report of Ambassador Arjan, referring to the public relations representative of the people of Yazd, Ashkazar, Zarch and Nadushan in the Islamic Council, Mohammad Saleh Jokar congratulated the birth anniversary of Hazrat Zainab Kabri (PBUH) and Nurses' Day at the ceremony honoring the nurses, appreciated the efforts of the medical staff of social security and called for serious attention to the demands of this group.

Referring to the role of nurses in the continuous care of patients, he said: In addition to taking care of the patient's physical condition, the nurse gives hope and encouragement to him and his family and plays an important role in the treatment process.

The Chairman of the Assembly of Representatives of Yazd Province, stating that holding a celebration ceremony alone does not meet the needs of nurses, added: Real celebration becomes meaningful when, along with gratitude, the problems and demands of this group are also taken care of.

Jokar considered the lack of manpower and the increase in work pressure to be among the problems of the nursing community and said: the burden of the lack of manpower is on the shoulders of nurses, but when it comes to paying efficiently, the lack of credit comes up; While attention should be paid to the wages, salaries, work shifts and living conditions of nurses.

Emphasizing the necessity of implementing the nursing services tariff law, he stated: This law has been approved and must be implemented. It is not possible to expect patience, sacrifice and provide good services from nurses, but ignore their rights.

The representative of the people of Yazd, Ashkzer, Zarch and Nadushan in the Islamic Council also demanded to give priority to the payment of the demands of the nurses and stated: the rights of the nursing community should be prioritized; Because the satisfaction of patients and the improvement of the quality of medical services are directly related to the working conditions and motivation of nurses.

Pointing to the necessity of cooperation and empathy between hospital managers, doctors, nurses and medical staff, Jokar added: The development of hospital services is not limited to increasing beds and buying equipment, but the satisfaction of patients and the quality of services provided are also of fundamental importance.

In another part of his speech, he announced the follow-up for the establishment of the specialized clinic in Azadshahr and said: We hope that the equipment of this complex will be ready soon and the clinic will be put into operation in the near future.

The chairman of the assembly of representatives of Yazd province also stated about the financing of the province's social security hospital plan: it is supposed to be agreed with the social security organization to provide part of the resources from the assets generating place in Yazd and another part of the organization's resources in Tehran, and by setting the agreement, the path of funding and implementation of the plan will be determined.

Emphasizing the necessity of improving medical services for social security workers and retirees, Jokar said: Workers who have worked for the country for years expect to receive the best services when they go to medical centers and return to their families with peace and hope.
