Health workers to strike tomorrow, doctors vow to maintain servicesNewsThe Alliance of Health Trade Unions has issued an ultimatum on health authorities, threatening to , go an island wide strike from tomorrow morning (February 1) unless their demands are met, but doctors have vowed to maintain services. If no heed is given today, 100,000 members will be compelled to be on strike at 6:30 a.m. tomorrow,” Mr. Rohana added. But the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) says despite the scheduled strike for tomorrow, 80-90% of health sector services will continue,. Such deception causes inconvenience to the nation’s health sector as well as the public, Dr. Wijesinghe stressed. However, the majority of healthcare professionals, including nurses, have decided not to take part in tomorrow’s planned strike, Dr. Wijesinghe claimed.
