Week long doctors strike continues in French Polynesia

8:06 pm on 22 November 2007

A doctor' strike in French Polynesia is continuing and public hospitals are still offering emergency services only.

The doctors went on strike a week ago to demand a higher budget due to rising health care needs.

No solutions emerged in negotiations this week between the doctors and the government.

There are no further talks planned at this stage.
