The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) is scheduled to hold a protest in Colombo today (November 10), calling on the Government to address several concerns, including reductions in doctors’ allowances and salaries.
GMOA Assistant Secretary Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe said the Association expects the upcoming Budget to provide solutions to these issues.
The protest will take place in front of the Colombo National Hospital, with representatives from the Association’s district branches expected to participate.
Dr. Wijesinghe assured the public that the protest would not disrupt hospital operations or the delivery of medical services.
Meanwhile, the Joint Health Workers’ Union has also announced protests at several locations across the country today.
The Union’s General Secretary, Ven. Tempitiye Sugathananda Thero, said the demonstrations would call on the Government to address the grievances of health sector employees through the upcoming Budget.
