Hospitals, health centres and the ambulance service will operate with skeleton staff on 31 January due to a 24-hour strike called by workers in the health service. It is also a protest against a government plan to pay doctors 20 per cent less than what they were owed by the social security funds. Unions said they want to draw attention to the underfunding and plight of the national healthcare system and the National Organization for Healthcare Provision (EOPYY).
