Overview
- The four sectoral unions formally filed a primary care strike for 26 November covering all professional categories in health centers and urgent-care points.
- Their 17-point platform starts with withdrawing Sergas’s 17 October plan and includes scrapping the FEAP category that imposes mandatory on-call shifts.
- Sergas proposes converting all family-medicine vacancies into FEAP positions, a move unions say would worsen conditions and care quality.
- In a joint statement, SEMG, Semergen and Agamfec-Semfyc rejected the reforms, urged an official halt to FEAP expansion and called for changes based on voluntariness and recognition.
- The Health Ministry acknowledged a severe staffing crunch and said it lacks powers to create non-MIR equivalency training, while O’Mega set additional stoppages for 27–28 November and Galicia’s four medical colleges also asked for the plan’s withdrawal.
