The new National Collective Bargaining Agreement for Medical and Healthcare Management for the three-year period 2022-2024 was signed in Rome. This agreement involves 137 professionals, including 120 physicians and 17 non-physician healthcare managers. The agreement, signed at Aran, represents one of the most anticipated renewals in the public sector, thanks to its particularly significant economic impact.
The allocated resources amount to €1,2 billion, enough to guarantee an average salary increase of 7,27%. In concrete terms, this translates to approximately €491 more per month for thirteen months' pay and estimated arrears of approximately €6.500 for each manager. Aran describes this result as the fruit of positive negotiations, which began in early October and concluded with an agreement deemed satisfactory by the majority of trade unions.
However, there were some defections: Fp Cgil Medici and Fassid chose not to sign, drawing attention to economic and regulatory issues that, in their view, have not been adequately addressed. The signing remains an important step at a time when the Italian healthcare system continues to struggle with staff shortages, pressure on facilities, and an entire sector demanding professional recognition and fair pay.
