The Government Medical Officer’s Association (GMOA) yesterday said that it will continue its strike on the SAITM issue.

The GMOA also warned that university students who have been protesting over the SAITM issue will be compelled to take arms.

“We already warned the Government that this situation may arise, but the Government did not listen,” the GMOA said.

Hundreds of patients were left stranded yesterday as a result of the strike by the doctors. (Colombo Gazette)
