"Employees of the health care sector work in extremely tense conditions, and the demand does not decrease. the latest data show that at the end of last year the cases of flu disease reached 5 thousand per day", the newspaper quotes the words of the representative of the National Health Service.
It is noted that last week, nine hospitals in the kingdom declared critical overload.
