Galicia’s Primary-Care Strike Fizzles as Sergas Confirms 271 Family-Doctor Posts and Flags December Risk

Deals with other unions left only CIG plus O’Mega supporting the stoppage.

Overview

  • On the second day, the Xunta reported strike participation near 4–5%, with the final day proceeding with limited follow-up concentrated in Santiago-Barbanza and Vigo.
  • Sergas published the list of 271 selected family doctors from the latest exam process, with destination choices open until December 12.
  • A separate offer lists 50 family-medicine vacancies in the Vigo health area, largely in urgent-care points and mostly outside sought-after morning shifts in the city.
  • Galicia’s health chief warned the December 9–12 nationwide doctors’ strike over the proposed Estatuto Marco could halt roughly 340 surgeries, over 10,000 consultations, and 600 diagnostic tests per day.
  • PPdeG pressed opposition parties to urge the national ministry to negotiate to avert the December walkout, while PSdeG questioned the timing of that appeal.
