Copenhagen - An eight-week long strike by Danish nurses and other health workers ends this weekend after a wage agreement was announced late Friday.

The Health Confederation that organizes nurses, midwives and laboratory personnel accepted a 13.3-per-cent pay rise for the coming three-year period, despite earlier demanding a 15-per-cent hike.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand patients have suffered during this, so I am very happy we have agreed," KL head Bent Hansen told reporters.
