Here’s what’s in the bill that spurred the latest Republican walkout from the Oregon Senate
Republicans walked out of the Oregon Senate this week in large part to avoid a vote on a reproductive health care bill that passed the House on Monday. The bill passed despite delay tactics in the House and 6 hours of floor debate. OPB covered that debate and the contents of the bill on Tuesday, publishing a story shortly before the walkout commenced. Below is the short version of that story — just four main things to know about the bill that caused Republican state senators to walk out of the statehouse again.

Britain’s NHS has never seen industrial action on this scale
OnMay 2nd health-care trade unions in England finally signed off on a government pay deal. More than 1m workers in the National Health Service (NHS) will receive pay increases of 5% this year—with an additional one-off bonus added on for the previous year. But hopes for an end to the industrial action that has convulsed the health service in the past six months may be dashed. Two of the 14 unions to vote on the deal are still holding out for something better. The settlement does not include NHS doctors. Whatever happens, the strikes have caused over half a million…
Manitoba health minister says she hasn’t read report that says many health-care staff have considered quitting
Manitoba Health Minister Audrey Gordon says her department wasn’t aware of a year-old report making more than 30 recommendations to improve the well-being of the province’s health-care workers — and she herself has yet to read it.

Gordon said the report, prepared by consulting firm Deloitte, wasn’t commissioned by the provincial Progressive Conservative government, but rather Shared Health, the provincial organization that co-ordinates health-care service delivery and planning across Manitoba.
The report in…

At the end of the day, I got to bring home the cinnamon rolls, scones and lemon poppy seed muffins that didn’t sell! So guess what??? I would make lemon poppy seed muffins to make sure I…
As Hospitals Close and Doctors Flee, Sudan’s Health Care System Is Collapsing
With the battle for control of Sudan entering its third week, health care services are rapidly raveling in the nation’s capital, Khartoum, a grim consequence of the brutal fighting that has raised fears the conflict could devolve into a wider humanitarian crisis.
The total collapse of the health care system could be days away, the Sudan Doctors’ Trade Union warned.
Hospitals have been shelled, and two-thirds of those in Khartoum have closed, according to the World Health Organization. More than a dozen health care workers have been killed, officials say. Beyond that, “hidden victims” are dying of illness and disease…
