Honduran doctors' strike enters 35th day; 20k patients affected, 3k surgeries postponed

Honduran doctors have been holding assemblies for 35 days since September 7, limiting care to emergencies only. Hospitals report roughly 20,000 patients without consultations and about 3,000 postponed surgeries. The prolonged action signals a systemic healthcare access crisis with no resolution in sight, likely straining public health and potentially escalating political pressure.
