Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Mozambique\u2019s minister of health said on Monday that all the country\u2019s hospitals were operating \u201cnormally\u201d on what was the first day of a national strike announced by doctors.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe information we have, via telephone contact, is that across the country the National Health Service is operating normally,\u201d said the minister, Armindo Tiago, during a visit to Matola Provincial Hospital in Maputo.<\/p>\n

The minister, who had been visiting hospital units to assess their operations in light of the strike announced by the Mozambican Medical Association (AMM), noted that \u201cone or other doctor\u201d is absent in some provinces.<\/p>\n

The AMM began a 21-day national strike on Monday, alleging that its demands regarding the implementation of the new Single Wage Table (TSU) have not been fulfilled.<\/p>\n

At Maputo Central Hospital, the largest in Mozambique, Lusa found that everything appeared to be running normally for those arriving.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is working normally, they are attending in the same way as always,\u201d said Dalina Ame\u0301rico, a patient who had returned to the hospital on Monday, one week after having a caesarean section.<\/p>\n

Dalina returned to the maternity ward to remove the stitches and then to the laboratory, and said that in both places she was \u201cwell attended\u201d and \u201cthere doesn\u2019t seem to be a strike\u201d at the hospital.<\/p>\n

Another user of the hospital user, Lu\u0301cia Bernardo, who was on her way to make an appointment after leaving the gynaecological services, said that things appeared to going smoothly.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no agitation and no huge queues,\u201d she said. \u201cEven in the laboratory I didn\u2019t see anything abnormal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activities inside the unit are apparently running normally in all departments, without queues, crowds or unrest.<\/p>\n

Lusa contacted an official source at the Maputo Central Hospital, but did not get further clarification.<\/p>\n

The president of the AMM, Milton Tatia, told Lusa that doctors have been asked to stay home, with \u201cno concentration or march,\u201d but did not provide information about the level of participation in the strike or the departments targeted.<\/p>\n

In November, doctors postponed a planned strike after meetings with the ministers of economy and of health, in what they said was a move to \u201cgive the government time [to] implement the agreed principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of the 12 points discussed, agreements were reached on eight, but according to the union the government complied with \u201conly three\u201d.<\/p>\n

The AMM cites the \u201cconstant change of interlocutors by the government\u201d and a lack of transparency on \u201chow doctors\u2019 salaries are being processed or not\u201d as among the points that have caused negotiations to falter so far.<\/p>\n

The implementation of the TSU is being strongly contested by several professional classes, namely doctors, judges and teachers.<\/p>\n
