Doctors in health centers that are difficult to cover in the Community of Madrid will begin to receive an incentive of 500 euros per month starting in May, as indicated by the president of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
In the control session with the regional Government this Thursday, specifically in the question from Más Madrid about Madrid health services, Díaz Ayuso indicated that this measure is part of the plan to improve Madrid Primary Care, “despite "That we are missing doctors because of them."
The regional government has detailed in a press release that this measure to encourage doctors in health centers that are difficult to cover will apply to both professionals who already work in these public Primary Care complexes, as well as those who are newly incorporated and will be implemented on all shifts.
This economic increase is added to the remuneration improvements approved by the regional Executive in the Comprehensive Primary Care Improvement Plan of 2023, which included the creation of fixed productivity by rurality, with an average monthly increase of 310 euros per doctor.
It also included a recognition of 450 euros per month per population served, 500 for the fixed afternoon shift and 300 for those who regularly perform morning/afternoon rotations. And modules of 4 extra hours are established with a remuneration of 50 euros for each of them.
With all this, Primary Care doctors in the Community of Madrid will be able to earn between 56,000 and 63,880 euros annually.
In addition, the Community of Madrid offers these health professionals the possibility of participating in research and teaching projects, which joins the offer of stable 3-year contracts to residents who complete their training next September with the objective to retain them.
The Amyts doctors' union applauds the proposal, considering it to be "a historic demand to urgently rescue health centers that are in a critical situation due to the lack of doctors."
