The protesters, some wearing doctor’s uniforms, gathered
outside the Health Ministry in Ankara on Sunday, shouting slogans against the
government.
They warn that the quality of care could deteriorate since
under the new system health workers would be paid based on the number of
patients they care for.
The government says the new system is designed to keep the
doctors at state-run hospitals by offering competitive salaries based on their
performance and discourage them from treating patients at private clinics.
