Striking doctors occupied the Ministry of Health, came into collision with the police and said they would not leave before meeting the Minister. The doctors held a meeting but they were determined to stay in the building of the Ministry until the government withdrew the bill to reform the health sector. All doctors from the health fund IKA’s offices throughout the country are on 48-hour repeated strikes. Polyclinics closed and hospitals are open only for emergencies between 9 am and 13 pm as hospital doctors have joined the protest outside the Ministry.
