Western province based 3000 doctors haven’t been paid Overtime for the past 4 months.
The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) notes that in western province alone, 3000 doctors have not been paid for their overtime work since last February.
Asst. Secretary of the GMOA Dr. Naveen De Soyza stated that although they’ve reminded the authorities about this again and again, but the requests haven’t yielded any positive response as of yet.
However, he said that they cannot take any trade union action at the moment due to the Coronavirus pandemic.
