More Than 4,000 Maltese Nurses & Midwives Go On Strike

Expect some patients delays and cancellations in the coming days.

 
The Malta Union for Midwife and Nurses (MUMN) has issued a five-page directive to over 4,000 nurses and midwives throughout Malta and Gozo, calling for a strike that is now in full effect.
 
The strike is related to several issues, including the introduction of the Electronic Verification System (EVS), appraisal reports, and robotic dispensation of medication.
