Czech military doctors sent to Slovakia returning

The 29 Czech military doctors who were sent as reinforcements to hospitals in neighbouring Slovakia on Saturday are returning to the Czech Republic, a spokesman for the Defence Ministry said on Wednesday. The Slovak government has meanwhile settled a labour dispute with some 1200 doctors who walked out over low salaries and the situation in the healthcare system is returning to normal. The 29 Czech specialists were deployed in hospitals in Bratislava, Nitra, Žilina and Ružomberok.
