Current Affairs Health minister under fire over proposed reforms
Reform in the health sector has proven one of toughest challenges since the fall of communism, with the post of health minister held by 13 people since 1993. The current minister, Tomáš Julínek, came out with far-reaching reforms, but his plans have since hit increased opposition. And, his days too as health minister may be numbered. Although the prime minister has again backed the embattled Mr Julínek, the Czech Medical Chamber sent a clear signal, opposing reform plans to be submitted to the government this week and calling for his dismissal.
