For the eighth day, doctors with the Ministry of Health continue their strike, to silence from the government. Currently, a group of doctors are planning an overnight sit-in on Tuesday night outside the Prime Minister's office in an attempt to pressure the government to respond and approve the new system demanded by doctors all over the country.

Additionally, with each passing day the strike gains more power, and other sectors have joined; the Dental Association recently announced that it had joined the strike, and union nurses are also planning to take escalating action, first in a sit-in on Wednesday in front of the Prime Minister's office.
