Health workers across Mongolia have launched a strike after eight days of protests, the Confederation of Mongolian Trade Union announced. Union leaders said the sector moved to the next stage of action because the government has not taken concrete measures during the recent demonstrations.
The strikers are demanding that the basic salary for health workers be raised to MNT 3.5 million, that state funding for the health sector be increased to 6% of GDP, and that the cost of full work uniforms for medical staff be specifically covered in the state budget.
The union did not immediately provide details on the strike’s scope or which services will be affected; officials and health sector representatives are expected to release further information as the situation develops.
