Agreement to end the strike
“We have been talking for a long time, we do not stop talking with all sectors, practically permanently,” said Moreno, who reiterated that “to this day” he feels “optimistic” that an agreement can be reached between the Andalusian health administration and the organizing union.

In his opinion, a strike at this time “would not be good” but he has been convinced that thanks to the “enormous effort” being made by the Ministry of Health and Consumption there is “optimism” that an agreement can be reached that can avoid the doctors’ strike.
Next Thursday, the eve of the call for a strike, the Sectoral Health Roundtable is scheduled to be held, requested by the union centrals and in which this problem will be addressed. EFEE
