The transfer of medical officers recently brought to light was not of political influence but the result of a mafia organisation, said the Government Medical Officers’ Forum (GMOF) speaking to a briefing held today (23).
Union Media Secretary Dr. Niroshana Premaratne said he is confident that the Health Minister’s authority against such mafia groups will continue to be exercised.
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) was engaged in a conspiratorial strike action without any legitimacy, including a court injunction, Dr. Premaratne added, revealing that about 90 per cent of the medical doctors are not with them at the moment.
Resembling the GMOA to a body bidding the will of Satan, the GMOF Secretary added that the GMOA is sacrificing the lives of the people by staging strike actions for no reason.
