The demonstrations are drawing renewed attention to long-standing underfunding in the health sector, while many hospitals are struggling to stay open due to a lack of staff and resources. The current wave of protests follows an unprecedented strike by staff at state psychiatric hospitals earlier this year, which led to salary increases of more than 30%.
