Overview
- Sanidade reached an agreement with CCOO, UGT and CSIF that led those unions to withdraw from the planned Nov. 26–28 strike, while CIG and the medical union O’Mega kept their call.
- The Xunta set 100% minimum coverage for extrahospital emergency services in an official order, detailing staffing levels by health area to ensure urgent care during the stoppage.
- Initial turnout was generally low and uneven, with a reported 6.89% average participation on the first morning; Sergas cited 7% in Vigo, while O’Mega claimed around 80% support among physicians there.
- The deal commits Sergas to extinguish the FEAP category by 2029, negotiate a Human Resources Plan within six months, remove the PAC time-tracking app and cap PAC team consultations at 30, among other measures.
- Officials framed the pact as vital to safeguard care during a flu wave and staffing shortages, as unions that continued the strike argued the timelines and guarantees remain insufficient.
