Portuguese National Health Service (SNS) Doctors Go On Strike For Better Working Conditions

LISBON, PORTUGAL - SEPTEMBER 24: Bloco de Esquerda leader Mariana Mortágua stands with the demonstrators during a protest staged by National Health Service (SNS) Medical Doctors outside Ministry of Health premises on the first of a national two-day strike called by FNAM for better salaries and working conditions on September 24, 2024, in Lisbon, Portugal. The National Federation of Medical Doctors (FNAM) stated that the two-day strike is “in the face of the total lack of solutions by Ana Paula Martins' Ministry of Health (MS) to improve their working conditions”, and its president accused the minister of a “lack of dialog and solutions” and demanded “a minister who understands health and can help the SNS”.
