Icelandic doctors began a new series of strikes this morning, a situation that will put further strain on Landspítalinn National Hospital.

Negotiation talks between the government and the union stalled at 3 am this morning. Both parties are set to return to the table at noon today. This is the first time Icelandic doctors have opted to go on strike to press for higher wages.

The Minister of Finance has said he considers the union’s demands to be ‘unrealistic’.
