The strike action launched by the Government Medical Officers’ Assocition has failed and this mafia-like medical group was harboured by the current regime, alleged Chairman of the Government Medical Officers’ Forum (GMOF) Dr. Rukshan Bellana speaking to media today (21).
The GMOA’s single demand demonstrated yesterday has now multiplied into seven demands, pointed out Dr. Bellana, adding that the officials of the current Health Ministry are suffering the consequences of the former Health Minister’s failed conduct.
The Health Ministry shall not be approving of such strike actions, he added, alleging that the GMOA is staging its strike action in a mission to protect the losing control of the health sector.
Despite the strike action in five selected districts yesterday, all wards, clinics and other operations at the hospitals were functional and only five per cent of those endorsed the action had not reported for duty, Bellana revealed, urging the authorities that the Media should be allowed to report them properly.
