GMOA Hospital Strike

The Government Medical Officers' Association (GMOA) launched and then temporarily suspended a strike after agreeing to discussions with the Health Minister. The strike reflects ongoing tensions in the healthcare sector.

Another day, another medical strike in Sri Lanka - where negotiating feels more like a national sport than actual healthcare. Doctors pop in and out of work faster than my attention span during a budget meeting, turning hospital strikes into a dramatic reality show where everyone wins except patients.
