IRANIAN campaigners are reporting that there have been widespread protests of nursing staff in Iran over the last two weeks.
The Campaign for Defence of Iranian People’s Rights (Codir) says protests have taken place at around 50 hospitals since early August.
The protests have called for more action to be taken by authorities over the soaring cost of living in Iran and the low wages, insecure employment and poor working conditions experienced by health workers.
