Thousands Protest New Healthcare Framework Statute

On September 7, 2023, Monica Garcia presented the new version of the Framework Statute, aiming to regulate the working conditions of healthcare professionals. However, thousands of union representatives have gathered in front of the Ministry of Health to protest against the latest draft of the statute proposed by Garcia.

The protest comes as a response to the recent changes in the Framework Statute, which healthcare workers argue do not adequately address their concerns. Union representatives have been negotiating the statute for months, seeking improvements in working conditions, pay, and staffing levels. Despite their efforts, the latest draft from Monica Garcia has failed to meet their expectations, leading to the mass gathering outside the Ministry of Health.

The new version of the Framework Statute, presented by Garcia, is set to replace the current regulations that have been in place since 2010. It aims to modernize and adapt the working conditions of healthcare professionals to the current needs and challenges of the sector.

The protest highlights the ongoing negotiations between healthcare unions and the Ministry of Health regarding the new Framework Statute. While Monica Garcia has presented her version of the statute, healthcare workers continue to voice their concerns and push for changes that better reflect their needs and the demands of the profession.
