The union leadership stated that the lack of human resources has increased the workload of the bioanalysts currently working in public hospitals, a situation that, they maintain, affects both the staff and the quality of care offered to patients. The sector representatives expressed their willingness to dialogue and stated that they hope to be received by the president to formally present their proposals and find solutions to the problems affecting bioanalysis professionals in the country. The request comes at a time when different unions in the health sector have raised similar demands related to better working conditions and strengthening public health services.
