Are Strikes and Lockouts in Hospital, Clinics, and Similar Medical Institutions Prohibited?

“In line with the national concern for and the highest respect accorded to the rights of the patients to life and health, strikes and lockouts in hospitals, clinics, and similar medical institutions shall, to every extent possible, be avoided, and all serious efforts, not only by labor and management but government as well, be exhausted  to substantially minimize, if not prevent, their adverse effects on such life and health, through the exercise of, however legitimate, by labor of its right to strike and by management to lockout.

However, while the State recognizes the right of public health workers to organize or join such organizations, public health workers on-duty cannot declare, stage or join any strike or cessation of their service to patients in the interest of public health, safety or survival of patients.
