The junior staffs of all the government hospitals across the country boycott their duties today in protest over several demands.
The island wide strike was launched under the direction of the All Ceylon Health Services Union (ACHU), citing several demands, including the implementation of 6/2006 circular, non making of casual labourers permanent and several other issues.
The convener of the National Trade Union Center Samantha Koralearachchi said that the ACHU has launched the strike in protest as no solution had been provided by the authorities thus far for their issues.
The patients at government hospitals face immense problem also on 13 August as the junior staffs were engaged in a strike.
