The beggar’s Ulcer-"Saturday Off"



Recently NEWS Items appear saying that the Minister who is in charge of the private sector employees is working on to establish Saturday as a public holiday for private sector employees.

For the last many years the NEWS item of “Saturday off “had been continuously appearing at the GMOA NEWS letter.
The committee on this matter was convened by Dr Nalin Ariyaratne and Dr Parakrama Warnakula and a successful pilot project was implemented at Cancer hospital Maharagama and Negombo hospital.
It had been proved beyond any reasonable doubts that “The concept of Saturday off” can be implemented successfully without causing any deterioration in the health care system.
Now the time of implementing it island wide has come.

BUT what we can witness now is the “LACK OF COURAGE “from the side of the Ex co.
GMOA ex co has evaded form taking necessary steps to press the ministry to issue the Saturday off circular.Instead they are trying to make this issue the non healing beggar’s Ulcer!


No more pilot projects please-implement Saturday off Island wide!
