Nursing strike could threaten health, life of patients in Finland, warn chief medical officers
LARGE HOSPITAL DISTRICTS in Finland have expressed their concern about the consequences of the looming nursing strike on the health and lives of patients.
Trade unions yesterday rejected a settlement proposal submitted by the national conciliator, guaranteeing that some 25,000 healthcare professionals, such as nurses, practical nurses and radiology nurses, will go on strike in six hospital districts across Finland on Friday.
