Description
200 professional employees have been dismissed country-wide from 16 of the recently privatised laboratories of the National Public Health and Medical Service. The new owner of the formerly state-financed laboratory-network, Euro-Labor Invest Ltd., is laying off employees since the network is operating with a loss. The most affected units are in Szekszárd, Szolnok and Salgótarján, where in the future staff will only collect samples and refer them to other units for analysis. Most laid off workers face immense difficulties finding a job in health care in the affected areas.
