The strike affecting Sahlgrenska University Hospital and other hospitals has ended as a new healthcare agreement has been reached.

The closure of various departments during the strike caused delays and increased pressure on other units.

With the agreement, hospitals are now returning to normal operations, although some departments may take longer to fully reopen.

Both healthcare workers and management express relief as they prepare to address the backlog of postponed procedures and return to regular summer schedules.

The new agreement includes provisions for shortened working hours for some employees.
