The organization, which represents the majority of Madrid's doctors and is part of the strike committee demanding a specific Marco Statute for the profession, criticized the regional Executive for aiming only to match national average salaries. "Madrid should aim to lead and be the first in these remuneration concepts," argued Amyts, emphasizing that the region holds the country's main economy and faces higher spending levels than the state average.
Ángela Hernández, general secretary of Amyts, stated that the proposed increases would have been significant "a decade ago," but currently do not compensate for the region's economic conditions. She also demanded that on-call duties be recognized as overtime and paid at 1.75 times the ordinary hourly rate.
Madrid should aim to lead and be the first in these remuneration concepts.
The proposal from the Conselleria led by Fátima Matute, included in the 2026 regional budget project, allocates an investment of 35 million euros. According to the Community, the salary improvements would benefit over 60,000 healthcare and non-healthcare workers across hospitals, Primary Care, and the emergency service Summa 112.
Measures include increasing the on-call duty payment for physicians, residents, and supervisors, as well as enhancements to continuous care supplements for staff working nights or holidays. For specialist doctors, the offer would raise the hourly on-call payment on weekdays from 24.99 to 28.49 euros, and on holidays from 27.36 to 31.19 euros. For Summa 112 professionals, a 24-hour holiday shift payment would increase from 88.81 to 101.24 euros.
Intern doctors (MIR) would also see improvements. First-year residents would see their hourly pay rise from 12.50 euros on weekdays to 13.13 euros, and on holidays from 14.87 to 15.61 euros. R4 doctors would see their pay increase from 19.99 to 20.99 euros on weekdays and from 22.33 to 23.45 euros on holidays. Despite these improvements, Amyts maintains its criticism of the regional Executive's remuneration policy.
