President Shimon Peres called on the government to give top priority to the unrest by medical residents at large hospitals in the center of the country. "It would be a shame to lose a single physician, and even more so, 100 of them," Peres said during a speech at an event for 700 young volunteers held Tuesday in Kiryat Gat.
He was referring to the three-month-long dispute involving medical residents at hospitals from Haifa southward that, in the last two days, resulted in the refusal to work by a total of 287 of them and resignations by 30 senior specialists.
