The island-wide strike launched by the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) continued for the second consecutive day today (10), intensifying disruptions across hospitals.
The strike began at 8:00 a.m. yesterday (09), with the GMOA alleging that the Ministry of Health had violated prior agreements concerning appointments for post-intern doctors.
Hospital operations across the island have been affected, leading to significant inconvenience for patients seeking medical care, according to reports.
The GMOA has maintained that the strike will persist until the published transfer list of post-intern doctors is immediately withdrawn and a satisfactory solution is reached.
However, the Minister of Health has declined to engage in discussions with the association on the issue.
Meanwhile, GMOA Secretary Prabath Sugathadasa stated that discussions will be held with members island-wide today to determine the next course of action.
