Iran's health minister resigns over budget cuts
Iran's Health Minister Hassan Qazizadeh Hashemi has resigned over cuts in the budget allocated to the Health Ministry, Press TV reported on Thursday.
Qazizadeh Hashemi stepped down from his post last week due to differences with the administration over health spending cuts in the new budget bill submitted to the Iranian parliament last month.
No further details were released in this regard, and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani accepted the resignation of his health minister.
Rouhani appointed Saeed Namaki as caretaker of Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education.
