Speaking at a meeting with nurses on the World Nurses Day, Rama said, “Looking at the photos of your colleagues who lost their lives in this effort, I find it relevant to repeat a commitment that you may have heard or you may not have heard, I made it before the elections day, that we will dedicate the first decision of the new government to those whom we wholeheartedly call Children of the Republic: the daughters and sons of all the people who have served the citizens, who have served the state and have fallen in the line of duty. ”

“And of course the children of the fallen in line of duty among medical staff will not be alone, because they will be provided with special financial support under the new law until the day they become fully independent,’ Rama said.

“It feels awkward, very awkward and believe me I have been in that position not once, when someone does a heroic deed, as the case of that young man who happened to be a young father of a 4-year-old child, and died in the effort to save others from the flames and what the state authorities do in the follow-up to previous decisions and out of inertia that has continued years on hand, is hand over a certificate and entitle the family to a very modest pension, ” said Rama.

“Certainly, Rama added, this is better than nothing, but I believe that we are better than that, and we can do more than that as a society and as a government on behalf of society.”

Therefore, it is time not only to honor these good people and dedicated professionals with the “Martyr” title, but to take care of their children, so that the widowers of those who died while performing their duty are not left with the certificate hanging on the wall and that modest pension for a lost life and also the loss of the most precious thing in life, but also a continuous, concrete and uninterrupted support for the children until the day they become fully independent,” said Rama.
