Government Hospital Doctors in Eastern Province Restart Strike Over Unmet Demands
January 19, Colombo (LNW): Doctors serving in all state hospitals across Sri Lanka’s Eastern Province have announced the resumption of strike action from 8 a.m. today (19), the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) confirmed.
The industrial action comes after the government failed to address the demands put forward by the association, which have been pending for some time. The GMOA had temporarily paused the strike during the Thai Pongal festival to avoid disruption to patients, but said the suspension will now end as authorities have not provided a satisfactory response.
The association has warned that the renewed action may affect routine hospital services, and urged the government to engage promptly to resolve the issues raised.
