Number of Romanian doctors seeking to move abroad up again in 2024
<p>The number of doctors who requested current professional certificates that allow them to practice abroad increased by 50% in 2024 compared to the previous year, according to Prof. Cătălina Poiană, president of the Romanian College of Physicians, which issues these documents.</p>

<p>Thus, about 1,500 professional certificates were issued to health specialists in 2024, according to <a href="https://www.zf.ro/companii/cifre-care-dau-fiori-reci-numarul-medicilor-care-au-cerut-unda-verde-22769983?mc_cid=b8e7e431a9&amp;mc_eid=cd1f92f96c" rel="noopener" target="_blank">Ziarul Financiar</a> calculations.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The figure is close to the situation in 2017-2018 when the medical doctors were leaving due to low salaries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2018, there was a significant salary increase that further reduced the exodus. Currently, however, the number is rising again.</p>
