The discussion will continue separately by the employers on Saturday night and then be renewed with the residents on Sunday morning. The sessions, which at the initiative of the High Court of Justice will continue for almost another two weeks, will be held daily.

During the previous three months of direct talks between the young doctors and the Treasury, there were only threats, walkouts and anger.
