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

Answer

What does the doctors' strike mean for rural health centres in Mallorca?

Rural health centres in Mallorca are under particular pressure because replacement staff are often missing. The minimum-service rules require basic coverage, but that does not remove the underlying shortage of doctors, especially in smaller municipalities. This makes regular care less stable outside the main urban areas.
