Luxembourg - Doctors’ and dentists’ strike ended - November 27, 2010

On 25 November, the doctors’ and dentists’ strike came to an end as their union AMMD and health ministers reached an agreement over the health reform bill, though the details are still lacking. Doctors and dentists began minimal services as an action against the reform on 22 October because they found that the tighter financial framework of hospitals would lead to the deterioration of patient health.
