Honduras's Medical College continued nationwide informational assemblies on October 21, marking 45 consecutive days of protest over unpaid wages, salary compliance, pending raises, and reinstatement of fired doctors, with the government and Medical College offering conflicting accounts of resolved cases.

Cardinal Óscar Andrés Rodríguez called on striking physicians to halt over 40 days of work stoppages that have suspended routine medical care, arguing that patient health must take priority over salary disputes and that the action violates Christian ethics.

The Honduran Medical College warned it will convene nationwide informational assemblies starting Monday if the government fails to pay eight months of back wages owed to health workers and fulfill job-placement commitments under a 2020 decree.

The government and teachers' union agreed to establish a permanent dialogue table to address salary concerns and called for classes to resume on June 3 after days of strikes.
