Medical services at Badulla Teaching Hospital were disrupted today after doctors initiated a strike in response to an alleged assault on one of their colleagues.
The incident reportedly took place when a three-wheeler driver parked his vehicle behind a doctor’s car within the hospital premises. When the doctor asked the driver to move the three-wheeler, the situation escalated, leading to the doctor being physically assaulted.
The injured doctor was admitted to Badulla Teaching Hospital for treatment following the incident.
In protest over the attack and concerns about the safety of medical staff, doctors at the hospital commenced a strike action. Hospital sources indicate that the protest is expected to conclude at 4.00 p.m. today (17).
