The strike is suspended across the country following negotiations with the government,” said Mankoy Badjoki, head of the Synamed physicians’ union.
The government has promised bonuses ranging from 200,000 to 640,000 Congolese francs as well as promotions for a number of doctors.During the strike, doctors said they would treat only “extremely urgent” cases, in hospitals that were pre-designated on a rotational basis. Coronavirus has infected 50,529 people in the DRC, with 1,045 fatalities, according to the latest available figures issued on Monday.
Frontline pandemic workers have been promised payment of three months’ salary on the seven months that are owed to them.
