In pictures: GMOA strike hits health services

The strike launched by the Government Medical Officers' Association (GMOA) crippled health services in many parts of the country today. 

The pictures below are from the Nuwara Eliya Hospital. Out Patient Department (OPD) services were stopped completely while those who came to get medicine for one month had to make do with a week's supply. Emergency services however, were unaffected.
