Thousands more appointments hit by doctor strike

Due to an ongoing strike by doctors, thousands more appointments have been cancelled, causing inconvenience and concern for patients across the region. The strike, which began last week, shows no signs of resolution as the doctors continue to demand better working conditions and higher pay.

Patients are being urged to seek alternative healthcare options, such as urgent care centers or telemedicine services, to address their medical needs during this time. Hospital emergency rooms are also experiencing an influx of patients seeking treatment for non-emergency conditions.

The impact of the strike is being felt not only by patients but also by healthcare facilities and staff who are struggling to cope with the increased workload. The situation is further exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which has put additional strain on the healthcare system.

Efforts are being made to expedite negotiations between the doctors and healthcare management in hopes of reaching a resolution and ending the strike. In the meantime, patients are advised to stay informed and patient as the situation unfolds.
