“The project of salary payment by efficiency is going to survive,” said Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski Sunday and explained that the project had long been prepared, thought-out and developed in cooperation with doctors. According to Gruevski, the project aims to help doctors who do their job responsibly and with dedication and encourage those who work unprofessionally to become more dedicated to their job.

“If there are any problems regarding the allotment of points, we are ready to discuss it. However, we are not ready to discuss any requests to cancel the project since this a project we have long prepared and have promised it to our citizens as part of our election program,” the prime minister stressed.

He explained that this was a crucial reform of the health care sector and that as prime minster he firmly backed its implementation.
