Israeli Hospitals Hit By Fresh Nationwide Walkout
Israel faced a new hospital walkout days after the end of a 118 day doctors strike. Administrators technicians and service workers protested for better pay and conditions shutting operating rooms kitchens and laundries and delaying admissions and discharges. A 900 member X ray technicians strike extended through Thursday halting imaging in most facilities except emergencies. The four month doctors strike ended last week after a hunger fast forced binding arbitration. The government sought to halt the protests but the court refused an injunction. Hospitals remain strained from prior closures and service gaps.
