Patients waiting at the OPD unit in the Colombo General Hospital this morning despite the 24-hour countrywide strike by the Government doctors. The strike was launched because the government had failed to increase the basic salaries and special allowances of doctors and had not provided a special transport allowance enjoyed by other state sector employees.

No Offense to Doctors. But if they want money and luxury they shouldn't have chosen this profession. Doctors should be willing to serve even for free if the necessity arises.

Furthermore the government spent public money to educate doctors to serve the public.
