The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) has warned to launch an island-wide strike starting from March 05, if the government does not provide a positive response regarding the cuts in additional duty and holiday allowances for government medical officers.
According to GMOA Secretary Dr. Prabath Sugathadasa, the 2025 budget has reduced these allowances.
“The additional duty and holiday allowances for doctors must be restored. If this correction is not made by March 06, the GMOA will take strict decisions from March 07,” Dr. Sugathadasa warned.
