The INEM strike that was scheduled for September 14 and 28 was called off after an agreement between the parties. The meeting that led to the understanding took place at the Ministry of Health.
The National Institute of Medical Emergencies is the organization responsible for emergency medical services in Portugal, so any stoppage would have had a significant impact on emergency healthcare in the country.
The union representing INEM workers had gone so far as to call the strike as a form of pressure for labor claims that are not specified in the article.
With the agreement reached during the meeting at the Ministry of Health, emergency medical services will operate normally on the dates that were initially scheduled for the stoppage.
