The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has announced that doctors at the Colombo National Eye Hospital will launch a strike today (22 January) in response to what it describes as irregular staff transfer practices.
GMOA spokesperson Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe said the strike is set to begin at 8.00 a.m. today. He added that similar trade union action is continuing at hospitals across the Eastern Province.
The association further warned that an island-wide indefinite trade union action is scheduled to commence from tomorrow (23 January), citing the government’s continued failure to honor commitments related to doctors’ allowances.
