The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has decided to temporarily call off the island-wide strike that was planned to commence today (March 05), following discussions held with the Health Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa.
Accordingly, GMOA Secretary Dr. Prabhath Sugathapala stated that the planned strike has been temporarily called off until the vote on the third reading of the 2025 Budget on March 21.
The strike was planned after the GMOA alleged that Budget 2025 had reduced several allowances.
