Today, 25 citizens of Ukraine are employed at the 1st Riga Hospital, reported Alexey Molchanov, head of the hospital's service development and customer service department, to the LETA agency.
Last year, the hospital hired two Ukrainian doctors, two orderlies, and two cleaning specialists.
Currently, there are ten Ukrainian doctors working at the institution, including two endocrinologists, two anesthesiologists, two neurologists, as well as one allergist, gastroenterologist, otorhinolaryngologist, and radiologist.
Additionally, six Ukrainian nurses work in the hospital's operating room, outpatient department, and in the clinic of anesthesiology, intensive care, and pain management.
A physician's assistant works in the short-term social care center. Furthermore, the hospital also employs three orderlies, three cleaning specialists, and two technical workers from Ukraine.
The hospital's website provides information on which languages each doctor consults patients in. The hospital explains that the specialists are studying the Latvian language to better integrate into the team and communicate with patients.
It is worth noting that earlier, the Stradins Clinical University Hospital (PSKUS) and the Riga Eastern Clinical University Hospital (RAKUS) also terminated employment relationships with several citizens of Russia and Belarus, as required by the National Security Law.
At PSKUS, 10 citizens of "aggressor countries" (Russia and Belarus) were dismissed. The hospital informed the LETA agency that, according to labor law regulations, no severance pay is provided in such cases.
Meanwhile, RAKUS reported to Latvijas radio that they terminated employment relationships with 13 citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus.
Earlier, the Daugavpils Regional Hospital reported the dismissal of 49 citizens of the Russian Federation and Belarus.
