Doctor’s strike illegal : Prof. Colvin Gunaratne

The recently resigned President of the Sri Lanka Medical Council Prof. Colvin Gunaratne says strikes by Doctors are illegal and therefore he is vehemently against it. 

Resigning he claimed the reason was the failure to amend th 80 year old Sri Lanka Medical Council Act and therefore there is no political or personal reason for his resignation. 

He also mentioned that the Sri Lanka Medical Council has legal provisions to protect patients under the Medical Ordinance however currently only Doctors enjoy its protection and benefits. Prof. Colvin Gunaratne made these comments at a press briefing held yesterday to explain the reasons for his resignation.
