More than 1,200 doctors and nurses at a Saad Specialist Hospital took protest action after being unpaid for five months. Migrant workers at a second Saad Group hospital also blocked a road after not being paid for over seven months. Workers alleged that the hospital owner was taking cash directly from hospital revenue and that delays in paying wages were due to the Ministry of Health not paying the owner for work.
