The Government Medical Officers' Association (GMOA) is to stage a protest outside the Colombo National Hospital tomorrow (Nov. 10), demanding solutions to several issues affecting doctors and the country's overall healthcare system. Speaking at a media briefing today (Nov. 09), GMOA Assistant Secretary Dr. Chamil Wijesinghe said that representatives from the association's district branches across the country are expected to attend. He further clarified that the protest would not involve a trade union strike and that routine medical services would continue at all hospitals without disruption.

Dr. Wijesinghe noted that they have been waiting for solutions for the past two-and-a-half years and warned that the planned protest would mark the first step in further trade union action if their concerns remain unresolved.
