Health Minister Nalinda Jayatissa, the Health Ministry secretary and the executive committee of the Government Medical Officers’ Association met Sunday night at the ministry to resolve a dispute over doctor transfers.

The GMOA had threatened to launch an islandwide strike Monday morning, citing irregularities in the transfer process. After the meeting, the minister and the secretary gave written assurances that the concerns would be addressed and corrective measures implemented.

Following the agreement, the GMOA said it suspended the trade union action that was scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. Monday. (Newswire)
