The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has announced the commencement of a 48-hour island-wide token strike in government hospitals, beginning at 8.00 a.m. today (23).
The association stated that the decision was taken after the Ministry of Health failed to act on an agreed framework intended to address longstanding issues affecting the free healthcare system and the professional concerns of doctors.
Despite the industrial action, the GMOA assured the public that essential services will be maintained, with maternity and children’s hospitals, kidney treatment centres, and cancer hospitals excluded from the strike.
