Patients across the region face significant inconvenience as all health personnel, including administrative officers, health management assistants, development officers, assistants, and hospital health assistants, unite for a strike scheduled to begin at 6 am tomorrow (11) and conclude at 8 am the following morning.
The collective decision to strike stems from discontent over recent remarks made by Dr. Rukshan Bellana.
Moreover, trade unions are advocating for an increase in the Disturbance, Availability, and Transport (DAT) allowance to Rs. 35,000.
This coordinated action raises concerns about disruptions in essential health services throughout the specified timeframe, leaving patients grappling with the consequences of the strike actions.
