Skåne Prepares for Nurses' Strike Impact

Published: 2024-05-30

Intensive preparations are underway to address the consequences of the nurses' union strike in Region Skåne.

Around 150 patients will be moved from Skåne University Hospital (Sus) to other hospitals to ensure they receive necessary care.

This relocation aims to prioritize critically ill patients at Sus during the strike, which begins on Tuesday.

Emergency patients seeking care at Sus may also be transferred to other facilities.

The strike, starting on June 4th, includes several departments in Malmö, Lund, Kristianstad, and Ystad, and has now been expanded to include more workplaces.
