The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has announced that doctors at the Colombo National Eye Hospital will begin a strike today (22) to protest against irregular staff transfers.
GMOA spokesperson Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe stated that the strike will start at 8:00 a.m. today.
Meanwhile, the GMOA also confirmed that strikes will continue in hospitals across the Eastern Province.
The GMOA further stated that, due to the government’s failure to fulfill commitments regarding doctors’ allowances, an indefinite trade union strike is planned to begin from tomorrow (23).
