Doctors at the capital's main hospital (which has only one hospital) claim that they have been paid no longer for months. The Guinea-Bissau Human Rights League is sounding alarms and, in the face of the emergency, asking doctors to perform the minimum service. The situation has even forced President Umaro Sissoco Embalo to speak. Details.
