The Ministry of Health has announced that a Cabinet paper proposing the extension of the retirement age for specialist doctors to 63 years will be submitted this week.

Janaka Sri Chandragupta, the Secretary of the Ministry, stated that the decision has been put forward in response to the growing number of vacancies in the medical field.

The Ministry of Health recommended the extension of the retirement age to 63 last week, and this information was also conveyed to the Court of Appeal. The Secretary of the Ministry of Health emphasized that these points were raised in relation to a petition filed by a group of specialist doctors challenging the retirement age of 60 years.
