Nurses do not want to be only nursing sisters

Slovak Chamber of Nurses and Midwives is in open letter asking the Minister of Health Zuzana Zvolenská and Minister of Labour Ján Richter to enable the nurses in social services institutions to provide health care again. Departmental bosses should according to them implement into the legislation the adjustment allowing social services institutions on the base of permit and license to become the providers of health care. Nurses argue that there are mostly old people with medical problems in nursing homes who need the health care.
