Iran: female nurses continue protests

Nurses are continuing their protests in various Iranian cities.
On Wednesday, August 5 a number of Hamedan Medical Sciences University held a rally protesting recent plans presented by Hassan Rouhani’s Health Ministry. According to this plan the wages of nurses are to be paid only based on the number of hours at work. In practice, however, they will be deprived of their most basic rights.
In Tabriz, nurses from two branches of Razi Hospital rallied and protested the Health Ministry plan. This is their third such rally held in the past month.
Gorgan in northern Iran also witnessed such protest gatherings. Nurses of 5th Azar Hospital held a rally and expressed their outrage regarding the Health Ministry plan.
