Indefinite Strike Launched Across All Western Provincial Hospitals by Supplementary Medical Professionals

COLOMBO (News 1st); The Joint Council for Professions Supplementary to Medicine (JCPSM) has announced the commencement of an indefinite strike across all hospitals under the Western Provincial Council.

The strike action has been launched in response to attempts by the Director of Western Provincial Health Services to implement controversial and problematic transfer orders, according to the union.

As a result of the strike, key services provided by supplementary medical professionals — including radiological scans, CT scans, laboratory tests, and the issuing and distribution of medications — are expected to be disrupted.
