The lifting of the strike in the HSMA occurred after the Minsa authorities accepted the proposals of the medical personnel.

Regarding the request for new personnel, he pointed out that five nurses have been appointed to the operating room; an ophthalmologist, since there was only one; Two OB / GYNs will become permanent and another will be hired. Likewise, next year more personnel will be appointed permanently, according to Trujillo.
