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

Answer

How is the doctors' strike affecting smaller towns in Mallorca?

Smaller municipalities in Mallorca are often under the most pressure because they have fewer staff reserves to begin with. When one doctor is on duty, that person may have to cover routine visits, urgent cases and ongoing patient care at the same time. That makes delays and rescheduling more likely outside the main urban areas.
