VERBATIM: The warning comes after the doctors’ collective walkouts caused cancellations of surgeries and disrupted other hospital operations. The Health Ministry says about 7,800 medical interns and residents have walked off their jobs to protest the government’s push to recruit more medical students. The ministry says the government issued an official order for most of the striking doctors to return to work.
