Slovakia passes law forcing doctors to work after resignation threats over pay cuts.

Slovakia's parliament has passed a law that could prevent doctors from protesting low pay, making them work even if they resign, with refusal leading to imprisonment. This follows 3,000 doctors threatening to quit over government plans to cut their salary increases. The law allows declaring a healthcare emergency for up to 120 days to prevent a healthcare collapse. It is opposed by doctors' unions.
