Doctors at the Geneva University Hospital staged a short term walk out yesterday in protest at health insurance companies that want to cut the price they pay for consultations.
Around 300 sat outside the hospital calling for a reversal of the latest cut.
The doctors say it will harm care as they will have less time to talk to the patient.
The Geneva Doctor’s Association says the latest cut, the fifth in twenty years, amounts to a 23% cut in income.
