2^min

Prime Minister Hassan Diab visited on Friday the Rafic Hariri University Hospital whereby he held a press conference.

During the press conference, Diab said that he wanted to visit the hospital “to look into the center’s situation in light of the pressure it is facing due to the coronavirus pandemic.”

“I would first like to commend the terrific efforts of the hospital, and to thank the medical, nursing, and administrative staff, as well as the hospital director, Dr. Firas al Abyad, for the relentless efforts and sacrifices they are offering to treat patients,” he added.

Diab also said that he signed and submitted the letter received by the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, from His Excellency the Minister of Public Health, Dr. Hamad Hassan, regarding the remaining balance of the salary and grades scale, amounting to a billion and fifty million Lebanese Pounds, in addition to the 950 million pounds that have been previously settled.

“Every employee of the hospital will be receiving their new salary by the end of this month. As such, the employees would have obtained their rights due by the Government,” he stressed.

Diad highlighted that for professional grades and compensations thereof, which is considered a strictly administrative matter, “I will ensure that hospital staff will be receiving just treatment in accessing their financial rights.“

“I would like to thank H.E the Minister of Public Health for the considerable efforts he is employing to equip hospitals in Lebanon, and ensuring constant monitoring of this epidemic’s spread in the country,” he added.
