Overview
- Galicia’s primary-care walkout entered its second day with Sergas reporting 6.05% morning participation and more than 5,500 consultations canceled, after 2,334 were suspended on day one in the Vigo area.
- O’Mega disputes the official turnout, claiming about 70–82% participation among staff not bound by minimum-service rules, and presses for a hard cap of 30 patients per day after a tentative 33-patient limit unraveled.
- A Coruña registered a local uptick in support, with doctors warning of agendas reaching 60 patients and describing routine activity as paralyzed under minimum-service constraints.
- Health chief Antonio Gómez Caamaño said he will meet O’Mega to seek a deal, while the union has asked regional president Alfonso Rueda to personally intervene to break the impasse.
- In Peru’s Arequipa region, an indefinite strike at Hospital Honorio Delgado since February 16 has left an estimated 10,000–17,000 consultations unattended as Governor Rohel Sánchez threatens sanctions and doctors demand the removal of health manager Walther Oporto over equipment, medicines and staffing shortfalls.
