The Government Radiological Technologists’ Association has announced plans to carry out a 24-hour symbolic strike across all hospitals in the country today (21 January).
According to the Association’s President, Chanaka Dharmavikrama, the decision was taken in response to the Ministry of Health’s failure to address concerns over what he described as arbitrary actions by the Deputy Director of the Maligawatta Kidney Hospital.
Meanwhile, an ongoing strike at the Akkaraipattu Hospital, launched in protest against the conduct of a Medical Officer, remains in effect. Media Spokesman of the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) in the Eastern Province, Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe, confirmed that the protest has entered its fifth consecutive day today.
