Health workers went on a 24-hour strike at dozens of hospitals across the Netherlands on Thursday to support trade union demands for a 10% pay increase and better terms.
Hospitals continued to operate on scaled-down schedules, meaning that only emergency care was being provided, a trade union statement said.
