The healthcare strike in Sweden, which lasted six months, has officially ended as all parties have agreed to the mediators' proposal.

The new agreement provides shorter working hours for those on inconvenient shifts, with reductions up to four hours per week.

The Swedish Association of Health Professionals' president, Sineva Ribeiro, emphasizes the importance of cautious overtime despite the blockade lift.

The agreement, affecting around 110,000 healthcare workers, promises improvements in working conditions and a 3.3% wage increase.

SKR's chief negotiator, Jeanette Hedberg, expressed relief over reaching the tough-negotiated settlement.
