Junior doctors starting 10th strike of pay dispute

Junior doctors across the country are set to begin their 10th strike as part of an ongoing pay dispute with the government. The doctors have been locked in negotiations with the Ministry of Health for several months, but have so far been unable to reach a satisfactory agreement.

The main point of contention is the government’s proposed pay freeze for junior doctors, which the doctors say is unfair and unsustainable. They argue that they are already overworked and underpaid, and that a pay freeze would only exacerbate the problem.

The strike is set to begin next week, and is expected to last for several days. This will be the 10th strike in the ongoing dispute, with previous strikes having led to cancelled surgeries and disrupted healthcare services.

The government has urged the doctors to return to the negotiating table and find a solution that is acceptable to both parties. However, the doctors have vowed to continue striking until their demands are met.

As the strike looms, patients are being advised to contact their local healthcare providers for information on how services may be affected. The government has also assured the public that contingency plans are in place to ensure that critical services will continue to operate during the strike.
