Hundreds of nurses have signed and submitted a petition over salary changes and working hours, local media reported, following Health Ministry guidelines introduced in August.
Raajje.mv said around 400 nurses across the Maldives had signed and submitted the petition, which is addressed to Health Minister Abdulla Nazim Ibrahim.
The 12-point petition lists concerns including working hours exceeding that of other civil service employees, no risk allowance and no shift allowance.
Nurses also say there is discrimination in acknowledging qualifications and experience.
