Nurses across Sweden are set to go on strike today at 11:00 AM, affecting major hospitals including Danderyd, Karolinska, and Sahlgrenska.
The action is driven by demands for shorter working hours and better wages to ensure a sustainable work environment.
Nurses report being overwhelmed, unable to provide adequate patient care, while hospitals warn of delayed surgeries and longer emergency room wait times.
Medical authorities express concern but ensure that emergency care will continue.
The strike reflects a broader resistance against the insufficient response to ongoing dissatisfaction among healthcare workers.
