The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) today warned of an indefinite strike without prior notice in protest against the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM).

GMOA Secretary, Dr. Haritha Aluthge said the decision was unanimously approved by its Central Committee.

“We will be forced to launch an indefinite strike if the related authorities continue to provide fake solutions to the issue which will lead to the legalization of the SAITM,” he added. (Kalathma Jayawardhane)

Enough is enough. there is a limit to everything.Your voice has been heard.Let the authorities do their job now.And also, it is not as if you guys have been doing a perfect job either. The public can say a lot about the way you guys run the Government Hospitals.

Will GMOA take steps to stop private practice also?

Madawa Friday, 29 September 2017 04:59 PM

Most of the people who make comments hear never have been to a government hospital. the people who been there will understand the value of the duty carried our by the docs

It's time to take a cane or a stone to control the barking dogs.

If paid education is bad why do you ask for payment from patients under PP after you have had a free education. Should you not treat every patient free like you got everything free.

Moana Friday, 29 September 2017 08:31 PM

So what did you do with the free education you got.... Selling bananas? provide us your services free too

If they go on strike, disconnect the electricity, water supplies to the striking doctors homes. Ignore them on every public and private functions. In short boycott them on every way possible. If they think they can get away with taking away other peoples rights, let them also taste their own medicine.

These frogs would have been hiding under a stone during the previous regime.

Wise Donkey Friday, 29 September 2017 05:53 PM

Who cares! This is what we hear everyday. Get to your private practice which you love most, truck loads of income tax free money can be off loaded into your steel safe. Go on with your protest, motorcade or strike....start right now!

Mundalama Gona Friday, 29 September 2017 08:29 PM

Yes yes... bring your hard earned tax money in a lorrey. They will give free medicine. Can I have your steel safe key

There are many dedicated doctors who work very hard to look after patients in government hospitals. It's time they left the GMOA and started a respectable new professional association in keeping with the dignity of the medical profession.

They are ruining both, medical students education and the health system for the public. Who is behind GMOA politics?

Clinton Friday, 29 September 2017 06:15 PM

Public would like to know the names of the GMOA central committee members.

SAM SPARROW Friday, 29 September 2017 06:41 PM

No problem. We don't bother about you anyway

Paul Friday, 29 September 2017 07:47 PM

You are talking about fake solutions,we are telling you about your fake stern actions and waiting to see what it would be,your baby brigade continue to believe you while carrying suicide bomb hang to their future by you.you are against the stone wall, either leave them along or take you stern actions

Ruwan Friday, 29 September 2017 07:58 PM

Wonder why government is tolerating these hooligans. Medamulana thief and his gang is behind all this mockery.

MP Saturday, 30 September 2017 03:30 PM

Wonder why the government is not settling this robbery of SAITM!

Something Funny Friday, 29 September 2017 08:27 PM
