According to KUL General Director Prof. Dr. Audrius Šimaitis, the hospital is operating as usual – employees are not being forced to take unpaid leave, and organizational processes are running smoothly.
However, the head of the institution does not hide that, with the hospital continuing to have a negative financial result and aiming to stabilize the institution’s financial situation, KUL management has decided to take a few days of unpaid leave per month and has invited the administration to follow their example and show solidarity, thus reducing the wage fund burden until the end of the year.

According to Prof. Dr. A. Šimaitis, this does not affect medical staff and patients. Moreover, this request does not concern clinical department employees – doctors, nurses, and other specialists directly working with patients. Therefore, the hospital’s operations and patient services are and will continue to be carried out as usual.
“This is not a universal or mandatory requirement – it is a voluntary step of solidarity by the management and administration,” says KUL General Director Prof. Dr. Audrius Šimaitis and thanks the administration staff for understanding the situation, listening, and demonstrating community spirit during this important period for the organization.
