Strike by supplementary medical officials temporarily suspended

The strike, which has disrupted several health services across the country, was initiated by professionals affiliated with the Supplementary Medical Service, demanding better working conditions, revised salary structures, and the resolution of long-standing administrative issues.

Kumudesh stated that the decision to suspend the strike was made to allow room for continued negotiations with the health authorities. “We have received assurances that our concerns will be addressed in the upcoming discussions,” he said.

However, he emphasized that the suspension is only temporary, and further industrial action could follow if the talks do not yield satisfactory outcomes.

Health sector officials have welcomed the temporary suspension and expressed hope for a resolution that ensures uninterrupted patient care while addressing the legitimate concerns of the professionals involved.
