The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has cautioned that it will intensify trade union action if the authorities fail to respond promptly to its concerns.
GMOA Secretary Dr. Prabath Sugathadasa said the association’s Central Committee is due to meet today (28) to decide on the next course of action, adding that the outcome of the meeting will be communicated to the public.
He explained that the ongoing trade union action, which began on Monday, is based on five principal demands. One of these includes a policy decision by doctors not to prescribe medicines that are unavailable at hospital outpatient departments and would require patients to purchase them from private pharmacies
