The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) will launch a 24-hour long, islandwide strike beginning tomorrow morning at eight, in protest of the government’s failure to meet their demands.

The GMOA threatened yesterday it would launch an islandwide strike if the eight demands made on the government were not met by today (24).

The demands include disclosing the identities of those involved in the abduction attempt on Medical Faculty Students’ Action Committee (MFSAC) Convener Ryan Jayalath.

The GMOA also demand that minimum standards on medical education are gazetted and a suitable president is appointed to the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC).
