Hospitals in the weekend mode

If doctors do not withdraw their notices, the availability of health care will be deteriorated. Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik wants to handle this situation so that after December 1^st several departments of large hospitals will operate in weekend mode. President of Medical trade unions Marián Kollár, however, argues that neither this kind of regime will be possible. For example, gynaecological departments will allegedly not have doctors, because they have, according to Labour code, already met their number of services. Minister of Health and Medical trade unionis are still unable to agree on the wage increases and the transformation of hospitals into joint-stock companies.
