Simebal highlighted the "massive" participation of Resident Physicians (MIRs) in strategic hospital services, such as anesthesiology, with "very high" figures, such as the 95 percent participation rate at Son Espases University Hospital. In addition, numerous outpatient services have been affected, causing a "significant impact on healthcare" in the Balearic Islands. The doctors' protest will continue with one week of strike action each month until June, unless an agreement is reached.</p>]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[<p><img src="https://static1.ara.cat/clip/81de324c-8995-4950-a7bf-7e8f60a23bc2_16-9-aspect-ratio_default_0.jpg" /></p><p>This Monday marked the start of an indefinite strike by doctors protesting the Statute Marc, a demonstration that includes one week of work stoppages each month until June. On this first day, more than 3,000 appointments and tests were canceled, along with a total of 77 surgeries in the Balearic Islands. According to provisional data from the Balearic Islands Health Service (IB-Salut), the strike resulted in the cancellation of 2,162 primary care appointments and 77 surgical procedures. Regarding outpatient activity, 1,835 appointments were not performed, in addition to various diagnostic and radiological tests. Meanwhile, the Ministry of Health, which is responsible for healthcare and has access to data on which professionals have participated in the protest, has declined to provide participation figures and refers inquiries to the Simebal union. "In recent strikes, we haven't provided participation data. We only report on the activity suspended due to the strike," sources at IB-Salut (the Balearic Islands Health Service) stated. According to Simebal, the first day of the nationwide doctors' strike saw high participation in the Balearic Islands, with 90% of hospital staff and 70% of primary care professionals joining, maintaining reinforced minimum services. Union sources indicate these figures are similar to those recorded in the rest of Spain. Young doctors have been particularly active in the protest, with participation reaching 95% in strategic services such as Anesthesia, which has had a direct impact on surgical procedures. Sources from Simebal-CESM, the doctors' union that called the strike in the Balearic Islands, wanted to send a direct message to patients: "Patients must be able to trust us. This strike is to guarantee the safety of both doctors and patients." The organization apologized for any inconvenience the mobilization might cause and noted that a protest of this magnitude had not been held since 1995. </p>]]></description>
