Health professionals’ strike action called off for 10 days

Date:

The strike action launched by health professionals will be temporarily ceased for a period of ten days, starting from 08 am tomorrow (04), a statement by the trade unions said.

The hiatus is in consideration of the points raised during the discussion held with the Health Secretary last night and the energy crisis befallen the country, the statement said.

Nevertheless, the trade unions pointed out that it has become the practice of the government to take various decisions by calling in only their political affiliates among those who make the same demand, adding that this policy should be seriously condemned in the event that it is threatening the independence of the trade unions.

Accordingly, the health professionals’ trade unions also urged the government to rectify this matter instead of further complicating the possibility by which the problems can be solved.
