Stockholm's ambulance services face the threat of being unmanned due to an overtime blockade by the Swedish Association of Health Professionals (Vårdförbundet).

Since April 25, ambulance personnel have refused to work overtime, potentially leading to a shortage of staff.

The union demands a reduction in work hours to end the blockade.

Ambulanssjukvården i Storstockholm AB (AISAB), responsible for the ambulance service, states that they do not rely heavily on overtime and prefer to keep it to a minimum.

The blockade has already resulted in the cancellation of operations across Stockholm, affecting 8,000 healthcare workers in the region..
