Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>A national strike by doctors in public service began at 7:00 a.m. today, Monday 05-12. Set to last 21 days but extendable, the strike will affect external consultations, special care, elective surgeries, auxiliary exams, autopsies, public health activities, teaching and tutoring activities in all public sector health training institutions.<\/p>\n

However, doctors have guaranteed that basic emergency services will be provided.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regret having arrived at this point, but we are not in any psychological condition to continue to provide the care that people deserve. We will however ensure that every patient who needs urgent care receives it,\u201d the Mozambique Medical Association\u2019s (MMA) Milton Tatia told the press last Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also regret having to appeal to everyone\u2019s sacrifice, but we were forced to take this path by a government which refuses to guarantee resources for the provision of appropriate medical care and refuses to respect our rights, thus compromising the practice of medicine and the preservation of health in Mozambique,\u201d Tatia says.<\/p>\n

Doctors claim that they are striking because the government is not fulfilling its promises and, at the last meeting it had with the group, said it had nothing to say about the profession\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe also decided to make this a strike about non-compliance with the statute of doctors in the public sector, non-compliance with what was agreed in dialogue, the constant change of government representatives in the dialogue sessions, which made any resolution even more difficult, From the problem to the dialogue sessions when we were about to strike \u2013 all of this has led to us striking,\u201d said MMA spokesman Napoleao Viola.<\/p>\n
