Protests took place at the gates of Lleida's Arnau de Vilanova Hospital, where the union recorded a 38% participation rate. This contrasts sharply with the figures provided by the Department of Health, which estimated the strike's following at just 6.2% across Catalonia.

Medical professionals are demanding a specific collective agreement to address professional burnout and heavy workloads. While the local strike is scheduled for Monday and Friday, it aligns with a week-long national protest organized by the Spanish Confederation of Medical Unions (CESM).

Despite the call for 30,000 doctors to strike, essential healthcare services remain operational. High minimum service requirements ensure that ICUs, emergency rooms, radiotherapy, and urgent surgeries continue to function normally throughout the Lleida healthcare network.
