Public health services impact during the June 24, 2026 strike

The State Health Services Organization (SHSO/OKYPY) has announced contingency plans for a 24-hour strike by hourly government employees scheduled for Wednesday, June 24, 2026. Public hospitals and health centers will operate with safety personnel throughout the day. Accident and Emergency Departments (TAEP) are expected to function normally, and inpatient care will continue without interruption. However, the organization warns that some scheduled appointments, medical examinations, and elective surgeries may face delays or rescheduling. Patients affected by these changes will be notified by the relevant departments. The SHSO has stated that its priority is to ensure the safety of patients and the management of urgent medical cases despite the labor action. This measure is intended to minimize public inconvenience during the industrial dispute.
