Sweden's healthcare system is under severe pressure as a recent survey by the Medical Association reveals that a majority of doctors believe they won't meet their regular duties this summer amidst the ongoing healthcare strike.

The strike, which began on June 4, has already led to the postponement of over 60 surgeries at Södersjukhuset and forced healthcare centers like Liljeholmens to prioritize urgent care only.

With reduced staff, longer wait times, and increased workload, the fear among healthcare professionals is mounting, especially with the peak summer period approaching.

The Medical Association's survey highlights that only a quarter of doctors feel their workplaces are prepared for an acute crisis, raising substantial concerns for both patient and staff welfare.
