It seems that the doctors syndication will delay it strike next Sunday the 15th of March due to the law , but they did not give up the idea of strike , they are just trying to find away out to get from the corner the primary minister Nazif had put them there.
The dentists syndication in accordance with the doctors syndication will delay their strike too
Check about the background of this crisis here
By the way you should know that strike was planned to be for two hours only in all Egypt's public hospitals.
Again the syndication did not give up the idea , they only are searching for a gap in the law that can make their strike legal one , it turned out the previous Prime Minister Ataf Abid made some amendments in the law that criminalize strikes for certain professions in the public sector including doctors as a vital profession.
If you want to know what I think , well the doctors deserve a raise and better salaries especially those in public sector , I am with that strike , yes their profession demands that should be ready for patients 24/7 still they are in need for better salaries ,at least they will be satisfied and can serve people better.
The official media from TV and newspapers are against this "since when they were with strikes !!" and they are accusing their usual criminal the MB to be behind the strike , as there are many MBs in the Syndication council , still this does not mean that the MB is planning the Strike alone !! What about Dr. Hamdy El-Siad ,this man was always accused to be the regime man in the Syndication and in health care in Egypt ; now when he stands with the doctors' simplest demands he is considered a MB puppet !!??
Anyhow if we are not going to have strikes , it will not be the Doctors' strike but it will be the professors' strike at University in the next 23rd of March , on the mother's day in Egypt
Thank Goodness the professors made their minds and they won't change it
Thanks for blogging about this.. It's important indeed to shed some light, and spread the word about the strike..

Good luck
