The Finance Ministry said, Thursday morning, that the strike at the nation's hospitals "will harm the patients in vain."
The Treasury said that talks over the past two days, the ministry addressed all the claims raised by the Medical Federation. A ministry statement said, "Despite the good atmosphere and progress made during the meetings, unfortunately, the Medical Federation came, today, with new budgetary demands that don't relate to labor relations and don't appear in the labor dispute it declared."
