Nurses wanted
"We recognize the situation as critical. The ones who leave are young doctors who just completed their studies" says Iwona Reszke from the Supreme Medical Council. There are currently about 100,000 doctors across the country. Nurses are also leaving and the shortage of nurses is likely to hit the hospitals first. The healthcare system needs at least 300,000 nurses to keep up with the patients. How many are there now? Not enough: 250,000.
