Oran told
Jordan News that the committee members’
main demand was getting an additional allowance of 135 percent, “on equal
footing with other similar sectors.”
Oran said the health
professionals were promised an additional allowance, “which encouraged them to
suspend a work-stoppage decision, fully understanding the economic situation
the country faces,” however, he added that an escalation would ensue if their
demands were not met.
The committee’s
other demands include the approval of the auxiliary health occupation law by
the
Prime Ministry, which Oran said “must be issued soon, especially that it would
still need to pass through several steps and a long time before being enacted.”
Jordan News learned, through a source at the Prime
Ministry, that the draft bill has already been submitted to the Legislation and
Opinion Bureau.
The National
Committee for Auxiliary Health Occupation had announced its decision to stop work
on Sunday after the competent authorities, including the
