Overview

  • Spain’s national doctors’ strike is set for Friday, October 3, led by the medical union CESM with regional affiliates including SMA and SME.
  • Valencia’s ICOMV reiterates that the Ministry’s proposals are unacceptable and offers legal advisory support to more than 19,000 members.
  • Medical colleges in Álava and Asturias also endorse the walkout, with Asturias’ body apologizing to patients and urging understanding for potential disruptions.
  • Union demands include a dedicated negotiation framework for physicians, a differentiated A1-plus category, a 35-hour workweek, clearer on-call rules, improved pay, and a homogeneous career path.
  • About 4,000 doctors in Castilla-La Mancha are called to join, with rallies and hospital‑site gatherings announced, while Basque minimum service levels have not yet been set with urgent care to be maintained.
