At the backdrop of shortage of medical staff in a number of cities in the country during the pandemic, medical students want to volunteer in Covid wards in hospitals. For just a week, 120 applications have been submitted. This was what the Association of Medical Students, which took care of the coordination of volunteering, has told the BNR.

Among the candidates there are trainee doctors, but also first and second year students. The Association calls for students to be hired on a contract basis in order to feel more secure at the workplace, as well as to be able to benefit from the additional funds provided by the state for workers on the front line in Covid wards.
