Overview

• Roughly 35% of studies went unfinished on day one, with 110 tests canceled across Álvaro Cunqueiro and Meixoeiro hospitals.
• Sergas has suspended its paid extra-hours program during the stoppage, adding further daily delays for scheduled imaging beyond the strike cancellations.
• Organizers report 24 of 27 on-call radiologists and 16 residents are backing the walkout, while Sergas cites 35% participation when counting the entire service.
• Health managers acknowledge a high impact and warn weekly backlogs will exceed fifty tests if current cancellation rates persist.
• Sergas offered a limited third radiologist —full days on Mondays and 15:00–22:00 Tuesday to Friday— an option staff reject as insufficient against their request for four on duty.
