Doctors' Strike in Mallorca: Week 4 – Minimum Services, Empty Waiting Rooms and Open Questions

Answer

What does minimum service mean in Mallorca's health centres?

In Mallorca’s Centros de Salud, minimum service means at least one general practitioner and one pediatrician must be reachable per shift. The idea is to keep basic medical access open while the strike continues. In practice, that can leave fewer staff available for routine care, longer waits and more pressure on the doctors who are working.
