Millions of **healthcare workers** are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the bank promotion negotiations. With expectations rising against inflation, the offers of **90,000 TL cash** and **interest-free loans** by banks are on the agenda. However, unions find this offer insufficient and are demanding a new arrangement. Here are the latest developments on the Health Ministry promotion and details about the payment date...
**Eyes on the Health Ministry Promotion Agreement**
Negotiations for the bank promotion concerning hundreds of thousands of healthcare personnel nationwide have reached the final stage. As the current contracts come to an end, details of the new agreement for the year 2025 are starting to become clear. Healthcare workers are expecting a satisfactory amount considering economic conditions and inflation rates.
**Offer on the Table: 90,000 TL + 10,000 Cash Points**
According to information circulating in the corridors, the offer presented by banks in some provinces is as follows:
* **90,000 TL** Cash Promotion
* **10,000 TL** Cash Points
* **Total:** 100,000 TL
**Union Reaction: "Falls Short of Expectations"**
The proposal that has come to the agenda was deemed insufficient by the unions. **Turkish Health-Sen President Önder Kahveci** emphasized the need for a revision of the offer in his statement. Kahveci used the following expressions:
> "While an agreement should be made for a salary amount for each year, a promotion agreement like this, as it stands, is far from acceptability and meeting the expectations of the employees. The Ministry should reevaluate with the social partners and take necessary steps to increase the promotion."
**Interest-Free Credit Option on the Agenda**
Another noteworthy detail in the new period is the "interest-free credit" model. Allegedly, discussions are ongoing about offering interest-free credit ranging from **200,000 TL to 550,000 TL** instead of or in addition to cash promotion. It is stated that employees opting for this model may waive a portion of the cash promotion. However, there has been no official statement on this matter yet.
**When Will the Payments Be Made?**
The date of promotion payments may vary depending on the final protocols to be made between provincial directorates and banks. If a central agreement is reached, it is expected that the payments will be deposited into accounts in a single installment and in advance in the **last quarter of 2025 (October-December)**.
