Description
Alexandre Manguele and co-authors look back at the twenty thirteen Mozambican doctors' strike for lessons, in work from twenty twenty-four. Health strikes worldwide worry managers for their hit to patient care. The Mozambican strike ranks among the largest in national history. Interviews with key actors plus documents reconstruct the event. Snowball sampling recruits participants until accounts stop adding new themes.
Doctors demanded better pay, career paths, and working conditions. Broken pledges, threats, and silence from government lit the fuse. Services narrowed to urgent cases as staff walked out. Patients faced delays, drug shortages, and lost trust in clinics. A Doctors' Statute passed as a lasting gain from the strike. Study interruptions, transfers, and suspensions scarred many doctors, though. Dialogue and honoured pledges are the core lessons drawn.
