Emergency medical technicians from INEM (National Institute of Medical Emergency) have announced a general strike scheduled for September 14 and 28. This decision was communicated by representatives of the category, who expressed their dissatisfaction with the institute's new organizational law.

According to information from the technicians, the strike was called as a way to contest what they see as the dismantling of INEM. The professionals assert that this situation could lead to challenges in responding to emergencies during the strike period.

The strike will reflect the technicians' concerns about the impact of changes in the organization and functioning of the institute, which they claim directly affect the quality of care provided to the public.
