Catalonia doctors’ strike: announced October 28 start

Metges de Catalunya is maintaining a call for an indefinite doctors’ strike beginning October 28, according to current local reporting. The dispute concerns working conditions, including hours and long on-call shifts. The Catalan action should be distinguished from a previously proposed Spain-wide stoppage that was called off.

Union updates, Catalan health-service information and reporting from affected hospitals can clarify the practical impact. An indefinite call does not mean all appointments are cancelled or that every doctor participates. Check minimum-service arrangements and negotiations before publishing patient-facing advice, and leave the end date open while no confirmed conclusion has been announced.

Indefinite announced strike; no end date fabricated. Check union and health authority for suspension/minimum services before publication.
