Thousands of NHS operations are being delayed as junior doctors across England begin a five-day strike today, March 15th. The walkout, organized by the British Medical Association (BMA), stems from a dispute over proposed changes to doctors' pay.
Patients are expressing anger and fear over canceled appointments and procedures. Many feel left in the lurch, unsure of when they will receive necessary care.
Doctors supporting the strike argue the proposed pay changes are unfair and unsustainable. They believe the action is vital to protect the future of the NHS.
Nurse unions are also increasing pressure on the government, highlighting the broader issues of pay and working conditions within the healthcare system. The BMA remains steadfast in its focus on industrial action to achieve its goals.
