I want to join the PDMSH, but what about my job?

The procedure for seconding medical workers from medical institutions to the PDMSH is regulated by the Ministry of Health Order No. 814. If we have confirmed your participation in the rotation, we will send a letter to your management in order to facilitate your secondment. At work, you should inform your supervisor of your desire to join the PDMSH and write a corresponding application. Your HR department will then issue an order for your secondment. Therefore, you will keep your job and salary. It's your supervisor who decides whether to second you.

PDMSH volunteers work exclusively on a voluntary basis, without salary or other material rewards. However, PDMSH volunteers receive an entire board and lodging, ammunition for the duration of the rotation, an individual IFAK first-aid kit, and everything needed to exercise the duties of one's role within the rotation. If you are legally seconded, your salary at your place of work will be retained.

Medics in the PDMSH are exclusively those with medical education and valid medical certificates. Relevant education is not required if you plan to join the PDMSH as a driver, mechanic, or cook, as your skills and experience will be taken into account in this case.
