GMOA Poised to Countrywide Strike on 30th Jan

The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) yesterday  warned it would resort to a countrywide work stoppage on Tuesday (30) if the government fails to provide a reasonable solution to their issues in the coming days.

While speaking in a news conference GMOA Assistant Secretary Dr. Haritha said, that they had reached to this decision following the unanimous approval of its Executive Committee.

He further said they would launch the work stoppage starting from 8 am on Tuesday, protesting over several issues affecting the medical professionals as well as the country including the SAITM issue and curtailment of medical officers’ allowances.

We have informed the Health Ministry Secretary about these issues and no positive response have been made with this regard. Accordingly, the work stoppage will be mandatory if these authorities fail to announce their decision before Tuesday, he concluded.
