Over a thousand Russians marched through central Moscow on Sunday (November 30) to protest against reforms to the healthcare system and to demand better wages and working conditions for doctors. The Russian media says more than 7,000 doctors might lose their jobs as part of the reform, with some 28 hospitals and clinics set to close in Moscow alone in the next few months. Officials say the re-organisation is aimed at increasing efficiency.
