It says that on 9 June, it sent a letter to the Ministry, listing the alleged irregularities. In particular, it claims that doctors\u2019 wages were cut in May, when they were surprised to receive less money than in April.<\/p>\n<p>The AMM Managing Council was mandated by the Association\u2019s membership to advance with protests against the government allegedly backtracking on the agreements made.<\/p>\n<p>If the AMM carries out its threat, this will be the second phase of the third national doctors\u2019 strike. The AMM says the strike will last for 21 days, but may be extended until the supposed irregularities are corrected.<\/p>\n<p>The AMM says it has sent its complaints to President Filipe Nyusi, Prime Minister Adriano Maleiane, and several other members of the government.<\/p>\n<p>The AMM is the second organization within the health service to threaten strike action.<\/p>\n<p>The Association of United Health Professionals (APSUSM), which claims to represent all categories of workers across the health service, had planned to walk out of all health units as from 19 June.<\/p>\n<p>However, APSUSM suspended its strike for sixty days, as a result of an agreement reached between the health workers and the government. The postponement is intended to allow more time for negotiations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/mozambique\">Mozambique<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Mozambique.
