Doctors at a hospital in Sousse are calling for a three-day general strike

University doctors at the University Hospital in Sousse State have agreed to a general strike on 17, 18 and 19 November 2026.

The General Assembly was convened under the auspices of the Executive Office of the Sousse AFL, where the AFL was instructed to deposit a formal strike alert wire with the relevant administrative authorities in accordance with approved legal procedures.

The basic union denounced what it considered a complete absence from the management to respond and respond with the demands raised, despite numerous attempts by the union party to conduct negotiation rounds and resolve pending files.

The professional demands of hospital doctors include the disbursement of unpaid salaries and financial grants, as well as improving physical working conditions and providing necessary requirements within hospital and university departments.

The UGTT had called on various of its trade union structures to prepare for the upcoming fighting stations, in particular the general strike, as part of an ascension plan approved by the national governing body of the union.

The trade union party held the hospital administration fully responsible for the deterioration of the current situation and the failure of dialogue, calling on its participants to be prepared and recruited to defend the rights of doctors and ensure the quality of health services provided to patients.
