GMOA Announces Islandwide Strike on September 18 in Protest Against Disciplinary Inquiry

The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has announced an islandwide strike on Wednesday, September 18, in protest against the disciplinary inquiry initiated against GMOA Assistant Secretary and Uva Province Coordinator, Dr. Palitha Rajapaksa, without a formal complaint.

GMOA Media Spokesman Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe stated that in addition to the strike, the association has decided to display black flags at all hospitals for seven consecutive days, starting today, as a sign of protest.

Dr. Wijesinghe emphasized that they are committed to ensuring justice for Dr. Palitha Rajapaksa and demand the suspension of what they describe as an “unfair” disciplinary inquiry.

“This disciplinary inquiry has been initiated without any formal complaint. Dr. Palitha Rajapaksa was advocating for the people of this country, highlighting the impact of the shortage of medicines and equipment at Badulla Hospital and surrounding hospitals,” he added.
