The National Coordination of Health Sector Unions is ramping up their efforts after a planned march in Rabat was dispersed by law enforcement. They have now announced weekly five-day strikes in response to the government’s failure to uphold their agreements.
The ongoing battle between health sector unions and the government is intensifying.
The coordination is holding the Head of Government responsible for the escalation and is calling on him to fulfill all aspects of the agreement, both material and regulatory.
Health professionals are pushing for the maintenance of civil servant status, along with increased rights and benefits. They are specifically demanding salary increases, improved promotion opportunities, and better allowances for various categories of healthcare workers.
