Medical workers, including nurses and care workers in Fukuoka, have rallied, demanding further measures to ensure their wages increase adequately in the upcoming June revision of medical fees.

The Fukuoka Prefectural Medical Labor Union emphasized the need for more substantial wage improvements and staff increases to address the ongoing shortage of healthcare workers. Source: NHK
