Today, Tuesday, the Syndicate of Dentists, Pharmacists, and Medical Imaging Technicians and Specialists announced a comprehensive strike, starting today.

The dentists and sonographers unions confirmed in separate statements that the comprehensive strike will start from today until Thursday, while the Pharmacists Syndicate confirmed that the strike will start from today until another statement is issued by the union.

The Dentists Syndicate called for preparations for a sit-in in front of the Council of Ministers next week, with a date set for the end of this week.

She also called on everyone to assume their responsibilities and implement the agreement publicly and through a meeting with the President of the Dentists Syndicate, representatives of the Syndicate, the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health and the concerned authorities, similar to the rest of the syndicates.

While the Pharmacists Syndicate stressed the need for pharmacists to commit to dispensing chemical drugs to oncology patients without resolving them.

The union strike comes in light of the continued intransigence of the Palestinian government and its insistence on not respecting its pledges and commitments, and what has been reached and announced.
