Hundreds of orthopedic surgeries and ophthalmology treatments are being cancelled at health units. This situation results from doctors' protest against the new rates for overtime pay.

Health professionals are demonstrating in this way to show their disagreement with the new salary tables. This protest is having a direct impact on National Health Service users.

The SNS executive director shows no intention of changing the established new rules. Even in the face of the harm caused to patients, he maintains the position of not backing down from implementing the new conditions.
