Colombo Court issued enjoining orders against protesting health trade unions

News

The Colombo district court issued two enjoining orders against Government Nursing OfficersAssociation and its President Saman Ratnapriya ordering to suspend their trade union action until February 24.

The Attorney General (AG) department moved the court seeking the order saying that the ongoing strike by health trade unions crippled the healthcare system across the country. Senior State Counsel Vikum De Abrew made submissions on behalf of the AG department.

Health sector trade unions continued their strike for the fourth consecutive day today causing inconvenience to patients arriving at state hospitals.

The majority of Outdoor Patient Department (OPD) and clinic patients were turned away due to the absence of nursing and supplementary medicine staff in hospitals.
