Medical professionals take to the streets across the South

Senior doctors and supporters took to the street in Dunedin yesterday to call for a "win-win" solution to the struggling healthcare system.

Southern Association of Salaried Medical Specialists (ASMS) co-branch president Dr Chris Wisely was among those protesting for better pay outside Dunedin Hospital as part of a two-hour, nationwide strike.

Te Whatu Ora Health New Zealand (HNZ) needed to help address the number of doctors choosing to work overseas with a pay offer that kept up with inflation, he said.
