Recruitment of 4,000 nurses with an employment test

Referring to the lack of nursing staff in the organization's medical centers, the head of the social security organization said: "Now we have more than 17,000 nursing positions in the social security complex and about 20,000 more nursing staff are needed.

Referring to the recruitment program, he continued: After a 3-year hiatus, this year, holding an employment test to recruit 4,000 nurses is on the agenda. This action can be effective in providing the human resources needed by medical centers and reducing part of the work pressure of nurses.

Emphasizing the necessity of simultaneously paying attention to the issues of human resources and the working conditions of nurses, this official said: dealing with livelihood and professional demands, promoting job security and preserving the dignity of nurses are among the issues that should be considered in addition to providing human resources.

Development of treatment infrastructure and completion of half-finished projects

Referring to the plans of this organization for the development of medical services, Mohammadi said: In the medical sector, we have a large number of clinics and hospitals that are facing shortages and needs, and decisions have been made to develop the infrastructure.

He added: In this context, we are trying to direct the organization's non-cash resources to the development of medical infrastructure. We have about 80 ongoing projects in the treatment sector, which include different clinics across the country, and they must be completed and operated according to their physical progress.

This official said: About 120 projects are foreseen in the construction booklet of the Social Security Organization. The construction of alternative hospitals in cities like Shiraz and Tabriz is also one of the programs that should be followed up to develop the medical infrastructure in accordance with the service needs.

Referring to the need of medical centers for more equipment and facilities, he continued: "In order to secure financial resources and implement these programs, we are considering new solutions so that we can follow the development of infrastructure and increase the capacity of providing medical services."

Financial support for medical centers and strengthening the nursing structure

The head of the Social Security Organization, referring to the measures taken by the Social Security Organization to financially support the treatment sector, stated: In addition to infrastructure development programs, necessary measures for financial support of the medical and treatment fields have also been followed rapidly in the organization, and we hope that these measures will answer part of the demands of colleagues in the treatment field.

He pointed to the issue of the organization's human resources structure and added: the nursing structure has been developed in the organization and related measures are being followed up.

Mohammadi said: Paying attention to the living and working conditions of nurses, strengthening human resources, and developing medical infrastructure should be pursued simultaneously to provide the basis for improving the quality of services for insured and retired people.

Referring to the role of nurses in the health system, he emphasized: a major part of the burden of health care and treatment is on the shoulders of nurses, and improving their education, skills, and capabilities can lead to improving the quality of services and reducing treatment costs.

Reducing the emotional and social costs of families by reducing treatment costs

This official said: reducing treatment costs, in addition to direct economic effects, can also reduce the emotional and social costs of families and affect people's livelihood.

Emphasizing the social status of nurses, he added: based on surveys conducted in the country, nurses, doctors and teachers are among the groups that enjoy public trust and can play an effective role in strengthening social cohesion.
