First impressions from the Medical Jobfair in Zagreb Croatia as shown in the newsreel. Check out below a translation of this story!

Reporter:
At these stands, to healthcare professionals are being offered dream jobs.

Vlad EGV Recruiting:
We offer jobs all over Europe and the Middle East . The most interesting example is the Swiss offer for family physicians whose salary is 10000 euros a month.

Reporter :
The difference compared with Croatian salary  is ?

Jobseeker 1:
Exceedingly large.

Jobseeker 2:
Probably yes.

Jobseeker 3:
I guess it's better abroad than in Croatia.

Reporter:
To work in Switzerland the foreign language should not be an barrier.

Silva :
Many of the companies that are present today offer language courses in Barcelona and Budapest. They make it easier for the whole family to move abroad and offer as well help during moving.

Reporter:
Medical student, Katarina,  is interested in  working abroad , mostly in scandinavian countries.

Jobseeker 1:
Primarily because the conditions are such that we do not know whether we will get a specialization right after finishing college.

Reporter:
A large part of her colleagues have a similar opinion.

Jobseeker 2:
I am interested in internship, if nothing else , maybe specialization or something else , so we'll see .

Jobseeker 3:
For me the most ideal is Germany...

Reporter:
... where doctors are offered very attractive salaries.

Dr. Minigo:
Somewhere around 3,500 euros which is not attractive for the German doctors.

Reporter:
But for our doctors it is, so some are already packing the suitcase.

Dr. Minigo:
One hundred medical doctors asked for documents which are needed for working in the European Union.

Reporter:
Croatia has a lack of doctors, in whose education Croatia invests a lot.

Dr Luetic:
It costs Croatia between 40.000 to 90.000 euros  to educate a physician. This process takes between 7 and 15 years. So , we are talking about an very expensive and time consuming process. And now we testify a sad fact that these experts are being supplied  to other countries as a finished product .

Reporter:
And such doctors could be more. That could certainly degrade the quality of healthcare  and the rights of patients.
