As a result the Pharmaceutical Service of the Health Area in Alajuela will go on a strike onTuesday.
Carlos Báez, Secretary of conflicts in the National Union of Employees of the Fund (UNDECA), explained that the strike will start at 7:00 a.m. and that only emergency cases would be addressed.
According to Báez, between 500 and 600 patients might be affected.
