The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) said today it would resort to an islandwide trade union action on August 3 over ten demands.

However, services of the Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children, Apeksha Hospital Maharagama, De Soysa Maternity Hospital and National Blood Bank would not be affected due to the strike.

Addressing a press conference GMOA Secretary Dr. Harith Aluthge said both state and private sector medical services would be disrupted due to the strike. (Thilanka Kanakarathna)

The GMOA is ruling the country. Government must take firm decision and bring doctors from India or other south asian countries to serve people during strikes.Either introducing mobile units.Other wise recruit more doctors for Army Hospitals. They also can be employed during strikes

I strongly suggest that GMOA to called the GMOSA meaning General Medical Officers' Strike Association. Strike is what they are practicing now and not treating patients. What a low down for this noble profession. Practically they have become a laughing stock not only for us but for the whole world.

The only duty our cheap 'doctors' are good at! Bring in some proper 'doctors' from India. Problems solved.

GMOA president is the right hand of MR ,Vasu told few weeks ago that they will get government officers to strike first from GMOA to support Joint opposition.If government dont take action against GMOA its time for people to take action against these brutal doctors.

These politicians should normally strike so that their wages can be used for the benefit of the poor, and the govt can recruit kind doctors from other countries at lesser pay.

Fire these monsters and bring Indian doctors

Palitha Galapitiya Tuesday, 24 July 2018 07:59 AM

When our Doctors are always on busy doing strikes; IndianDoctors are busy doing on joint Medical (team-research work with Japanese Doctors in India and Japan.What a Difference.....???

I guess these doctors are short of work. Specialised in striking.

Alex Tuesday, 24 July 2018 08:49 AM

Killing spree is to start again.

Jaliya Tuesday, 24 July 2018 09:05 AM

Typical third-world low life attitude. Hypocrisy to the highest with Zero ethics. Someone needs to give them their own medicine " DISCHARGED FROM DUTY INDEFINITELY " and that degree you received with the tax payer's expense " RESCINDED " without any provisions to restate. Now you go collect the urine samples at the lavatory ... and here is a pair of used gloves.
