In his speech, Serge Telle described the precious quality long-term workers have, which is a capacity to evolve. He commended those working in fields that are important to the Principality: sustainable development and the economy. In the name of HSH Prince Albert II and all the Principality, the minister of State closed by expressing gratitude and sincerely congratulating the workers before they received their medals.
Minister of State presents CHPG Medals of Honour
On Friday 16 November, Minister of State, Serge Telle, presented the Medals of Honour for Public Institutions to CHPG workers at the Oceanographic Museum. With his arm in a sling due to a recent elbow operation, the Minister of State attested to the exceptional quality of care at the CHPG from personal experience and thanked everyone who contributed to his own personal health care. Representing the entire government of the Principality, the Minister of State gave out the medals of honour to those who have worked for 20, 25 and 30 years at the CHPG.
In his speech, Serge Telle described the CHPG is an indispensable and essential element in the quality of life for the entire population of the Principality, not only for Monegasques and residents, but for the surrounding area. The hospital draws 60-70% of its patients from outside the borders of the Principality, which is something to be proud of and proves the excellence of the work that is conducted at the hospital.
The CHPG is a national and international reference of quality and Serge Telle wanted to honour all those who work for the CHPG. Some of the positions may not be properly recognized every day or may be taken for granted, so he wanted to say that the Princely government wishes to make a significant effort to promote the respect of all hospital workers. He went on to list the measures (budgetary and otherwise) the government are undertaking to recognize the work by those at the hospital.
