**Congo-Brazzaville: Health‑worker strike demands immediate payment of two months’ salaries**
In Brazzaville, a strike by public hospital staff has continued to disrupt medical services. The union representing health workers, Fésytrasas, has set a clear condition for ending the walkout: the government must pay the workers the salaries owed for the past two months, and it must do so immediately.
The strike follows several months of unpaid wages. While patients remain in need of care, health‑care professionals are waiting for their salaries. The union’s demand is that the two‑month payment be made without delay, after which it would consider suspending the strike.
