Medical workers in Kyrgyzstan won't get pay increase this year due to budget shortage

AKIPRESS.COM - Health Minister Alymkadyr Beishenaliev said in Parliament today there is no money in the public budget to provide pay increase for medical workers.
"You promised medical workers will get pay increase. Have you found sources of financing?" MP Ainura Askarova asked the Health Minister.
"We have requested funding from the Finance Ministry, but we were told there is no money for pay increase," Minister Beishenaliev said.
"This means you won't increase salaries for medical workers in 2020," Askarova said.
