Healthcare trade unionists want to meet the Prime Minister over their demanded pay raise for hospital staff because the Health Ministry could not promise them such an increase. The union said it appreciated that the health minister offered a 5-percent increase in the basic pay of hospital doctors and nurses, but the unions demanded a 10-percent increase, which the minister could not meet.
