Pharmacists’ and dentists’ associations call for meeting with PM

Associations of pharmacists and dentists have called in an open letter for a meeting with Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka. They are angered that talks so far about conditions in the health sector have only involved doctors. The head of the pharmacists’ chamber say the problems are generalised with payments still too low for the services that his members offer and ongoing uncertainty about the proportion of payments made by patients. Doctors called at the start of March for wages in the health sector to climb by 30 percent over the next three years.
