Tierra del Fuego health professionals warn of migration to private sector

Health professionals in Tierra del Fuego, represented by the union SIPROSA, have criticized the Ministry of Health regarding a recent collective bargaining agreement. Dr. Juan Navoni stated that the agreed 3 percent increase to the base salary is insufficient to offset recent inflation losses.

Union representatives expressed concern that the lack of significant adjustments to the 'dedicación exclusiva' (exclusive dedication) item will prevent the recruitment of new staff and drive existing medical professionals to migrate from the public health system to the private sector.
