Doctors' strike in the Balearic Islands: Fifth week, who bears the costs?

Answer

How is the doctors' strike affecting patients in Mallorca?

Patients in Mallorca are feeling the strike mainly through longer waits for appointments and more pressure on emergency services. In Palma and some other areas, people are finding it harder to get routine GP care, while pharmacies and hospitals are seeing more concern about delays. Urgent care is still being covered, but everyday access to doctors has become less predictable.
