A crucial meeting is scheduled for today (13) between the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) and President Ranil Wickremesinghe. GMOA Spokesman Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe announced that the discussion will take place at 3 pm at the President’s Office.
The meeting’s primary focus will be on pressing issues within the healthcare sector, such as the ongoing shortage of medicines and the concerning trend of doctors leaving the country for various reasons.
Dr. Wijesinghe revealed that the GMOA had launched a series of protests in response to the Ministry of Health’s failure to address these issues and provide adequate protection for doctors. He emphasized that the Health Minister would not be granted additional time to resolve these critical concerns, as solutions have already been proposed, and now it’s time for implementation.
