Doctors' strike in the Balearic Islands: Who bears the consequences — patients or politics?

Answer

How does the doctors' strike in Mallorca affect everyday patient care?

Patients in Mallorca are still entitled to basic care, but many non-urgent appointments can be delayed or cancelled. Emergency departments, 061 ambulances and on-call services remain staffed, which means urgent care should still be available. In practice, people may notice longer waits and more pressure on health centers.
