Head of hospital in Žilina insists on dismissal of doctors

Economy measures of the director of Faculty hospital in Žilina, Štefan Volák, provoked the strong resentment of its employees. In an effort to streamline the management gave notice to 18 doctors. Doctors refuse these measures and turned themselves to Minister of Health Zuzana Zvolenská. She, however, made a stand for director. Director faces the extreme criticism also due to the effort for releasing of the boss of trade unionists in Žilina, Peter Blaško. Representatives of medical trade unions from Poland, Czech republic and Hungary designated this step as a rapid intervention in the principles of democracy.
