Minister of Health spoke to his colleagues abroad

Minister of Health Ivan Uhliarik addressed his departmental colleagues abroad with the request of providing doctors in the case of emergency situation in Slovak hospitals. Whether this option will be used depends on current development with mass notices of doctors. How many doctors responded to the government̍s offer to increase salaries by an average of € 300 and signed the contract amendment, is not known yet. Minister, however, stressed, that despite the notices about 5 500 doctors should remain in the hospitals. At the end of last week there were about 2 000 notices of their colleagues registered.
