Laboratory technical assistants warned of a possible work stoppage scheduled for next April 4.

Bonilla recalled that “since 2005 there is an agreement given by the Social Security Fund, the Ministry of Health (Minsa) and CONAGREPROTSA (National Coordinator of Health Professionals and Technicians Guild) for 6 hours, however, there are still colleagues who are working 8 hours.
