Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Starting at 7:00 AM local time on the 17th, resident doctors in England, UK, began another strike, which will last for five days. The resident doctors stated that due to persistent inflation and rising prices in the UK in recent years, their real income has decreased significantly.
Resident doctors, formerly known as junior doctors, are the first step for medical students in the UK to enter the workforce. Resident doctors account for approximately half of all doctors in the UK's National Health Service (NHS).
The NHS recently stated that hospitals are facing their most strained situation yet due to a more than 55% increase in flu cases within a week.
From November 14th, resident doctors in England began a five-day strike to protest the reduced real income caused by the high cost of living. In the past two years, doctors in England have staged more than ten such strikes.
