A 48 hour national strike announced the National Confederation of Municipal Health Officials (Confusam).

The Confederation denounces “breaches” of the Government in various matters, as bonuses to health personnel, the suspension of the User Treatment survey, in addition to not evaluating different goals.

The mobilization will take place between November 12 and 13; and it is also due to the health budget for 2021.

The treasury contemplates an increase of only $ 160 per capita for primary care compared to 2020, which according to the president of the union, Gabriela Flores, shows that people’s health “is not valued by the Government.”


From the Confederation of University Professionals of Health Services (Fenpruss) They did not rule out joining this mobilization.

This was confirmed by the president of the union, Aldo Santibáñez, who pointed out that they are also seeking a response from the Ministry of Health to a series of demands.

Confusam assured that during the mobilization days they will carry out ethical shifts throughout the country and at all levels of care, but that the functions related to the coronavirus pandemic will not be interrupted.
