The National Federation of Physicians (FNAM) will continue to strike on July 5 and 6 and will not rule out another in August, the president said this Saturday, accusing the health ministry of “treating doctors like a liver.”
“The government treated SNA doctors [Serviço Nacional de Saúde], and especially health in Portugal, with great disrespect (…). We’re on strike for a week [5 e 6 de julho] and we do not exclude the possibility of doing this in the first week of August,” said FNAM President Joana Bordalo-e-Sa.
At a press conference in Porto after the National Council, which lasted more than five hours, FNAM accused the Ministry of Health of treating “doctors like a liver”.
“For FNAM, medical performance evaluation should be based on base salary, not performance criteria. Doctors and physicians are not cookies in a factory,” the president said.
