President Gašparovič gave an ultimatum to doctors

President Ivan Gašparovič gave an ultimatum to more than 2 000 doctors, who have resigned. Either they make an agreement with Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik until Saturday, or president will ask government to declare state of emergency. Doctors will have to get to work and will receive 70% of their current salary. Emergency may be declared for 30 to 90 days. President warned doctors, that if they withdraw their notices, their position will, according to the offer of the minister and government, get better, but if they do not, they will not get anything.
