Doctors in England have announced a strike from December 17 to December 22 in protest against low salaries and challenging working conditions, raising concerns about disruption to healthcare services across the country.

According to a foreign news agency, negotiations between doctors and the UK government have failed, prompting medical professionals to move forward with industrial action. Doctors rejected the proposal put forward by the government, stating that it did not adequately address their concerns.

Doctors argue that current pay levels and working conditions are unacceptable, leaving them with no option but to protest. They have emphasized that prolonged workload pressures and insufficient compensation have pushed them to take this step.

During the strike period, routine services at hospitals and medical facilities are expected to be affected. Reports indicate that following the breakdown of talks, doctors decided on strike action, with only emergency medical services to remain operational in order to protect critically ill patients.

The planned strike is likely to add further strain to England’s healthcare system, as authorities and patient groups brace for potential delays and service disruptions.
