Greece: Health workers to strike in Athens 12:00-15:00 March 27, and protest at Ministry of Health

Unionized health workers plan to strike in Athens 12:00-15:00 March 27. Additionally, striking medical personnel will gather at the Ministry of Health on Aristotelous Street, from 13:00-15:00 to demand increased salaries and better working conditions. Participation remains unclear.

Authorities will likely deploy increased security to monitor the gathering; localize transport and road travel disruptions are likely near the protest site. Lingering disruptions are possible as striking medical personnel leave the area through the afternoon of March 27. The strike could prompt minor disruptions to healthcare services, including reduced available services and canceled routine appointments.
