LONDON, Feb. 21 (Xinhua) -- Thousands of junior doctors in Wales began a three-day strike on Wednesday over continued pay disputes, the second walkout since January, the British Medical Association (BMA) announced.

Junior doctors in Wales have experienced a pay cut of 29.6 percent in real terms over the last 15 years," Oba Babs-Osibodu and Peter Fahey, co-chairs of BMA Cymru Wales' junior doctors committee, said in a press release.
