The strike is in progress in the Ratnapura, Nuwara Eliya, Polonnaruwa, Mannar and Trincomalee districts.
The GMOA said that they were protesting about the manner the Health Ministry was handling post internship appointments as the ministry has made the final list when some issues were still under discussion.
They said that the Secretary to the Ministry and a senior official were directly responsible for preparing the list.
The GMOA said the strike is effective till 8 a.m. tomorrow (21).
Meanwhile, hundreds of patients who turned up at the hospitals in the five districts where the strike is in progress were turned away without treatment.
