Junior doctors in England have commenced a 72-hour strike over pay levels, causing significant disruption in the National Health Service (NHS) with thousands of appointments and procedures postponed or canceled. Seeking a 35% pay rise to address years of below-inflation increases, the doctors are the backbone of the NHS workforce.
