Doctors are on strike for their own status throughout the state
In the Basque Country, in addition, the Medical Union (SME) has organized rallies in hospitals and outpatient clinics in the three capitals.
Today, public health doctors are called to a day of strike throughout the State to demand their own statute regulating their working conditions. In the Basque Country, the Medical Union (SMEs) has organized rallies in hospitals and outpatient clinics in the three capitals under theslogan "Doctor and for a Statute for Faculties", with the aim of recognizing the peculiarities of the profession and not imposing long working hours.
After 20 years, the Ministry of Health has now begun negotiating a framework statute regulating the conditions of all public health personnel (nurses, assistants and doctors) at a single negotiating table. Doctors (who account for only 10% of health personnel) report that their meagre representation does not meet their specific needs and does not leave them unprotected. They therefore claim a statute of their own which provides, among other things, for the gradual abolition of the extra working hours.
In the Basque Country, SMEs have convened rallies at 11 a.m. in the hospitals of Txagorritxu (Vitoria-Gasteiz), Cruces (Barakaldo) and Donostia, and at 12 noon in the outpatient clinics of Olaguibel, Areilza and Amara Berri.
The Medical Union states that the stops will affect doctors and doctors in hospitals, laboratories and hospital pharmacies. They demand fair pay, a 35-hour day and voluntary guards. Néstor Morchón, emergency doctor at the University Hospital of Álava, and Xabier Arteaga, surgeon of San Sebastián, stress that the purpose of the mobilization is to "dignify the profession" and ensure adequate working conditions.
Osakidetza has established minimum services : hospitals will operate as on a holiday, while primary care centres will provide services equivalent to a Saturday. As usual, oncology, dialysis and emergency treatments will be provided normally.
