This was a result of an inconclusive negotiation that took place today, December 13, 2022, between the parties involved at the Ministry of Health Conference Room.

According to reports from the meeting, the government insisted on giving workers an 18% salary increment as against workers reducing their demand to 58%.

Meanwhile, the 19th December meeting was rescheduled to the 20th, which saw the government representatives not attending the meeting, leading to an indefinite adjournment of the negotiation.
