Overview
- Radiologists say the walkout has forced the cancellation of more than 500 imaging tests in five days, with roughly a hundred a day affected.
- Sergas proposed adding one extra professional on Mondays and reinforcing 15:00–22:00 on other days with nights remaining on-call, a plan the doctors call insufficient.
- Hospital management insists there are five radiologists per on-call shift, while the striking clinicians say only two are physically present with three on non-presential duty.
- No meeting between Sergas and the radiologists took place during the first week of the dispute, according to both sides’ accounts.
- The group cites an estimated 80% rise in urgent CT demand since 2016 as justification for safer staffing and has called a public rally for October 20 at 19:00 outside Vigo’s Museo Marco.
