Colombo (LNW): A token strike organised at the National Eye Hospital in Colombo set to commence this (14) morning has been called off, after a discussion with Secretary to the Ministry of Health, Dr. Palitha Mahipala.
The planned token strike was in response to the perceived lack of action from the Hospital Director and the Ministry of Health regarding the unprofessional conduct of the Administrative Officer at the National Eye Hospital.
Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe, spokesperson for the Government Medical Officers’ Association, announced that the trade union action has been temporarily halted.
This decision was made after the Health Secretary assured them that the matter would be addressed, and an investigation would be conducted into the issues raised.
