Peruvian nurses are joining the 48-hour strike maintained by doctors in the country to reject the privatization of Social Security Health (EsSalud) and request responses to their demands such as increased wages and improvements in working conditions, informed TelesurTV.
Last Tuesday, a group of doctors from EsSalud protested in Lima, as well as others did so in health centers in the provinces.
Another reason for this strike is to reject the corruption that exists in these health facilities in Peru, wrote TelesurTV on Tuesday.
“They are demanding that the State not privatize hospitals through what they have called tertiarization or even public or private associations”, said Jaime Herrera, a reporter from TelesurtV. “They’ve said that the State’s investment would go to third parties and not to the capacity and infrastructure of hospitals for the benefit of the users,” he continued.
