No
hand in specialist transfers, says GMOA The GMOA states the offending press article has been published with malicious intent to bring discredit to the GMOA and the Director General of Health Services. They allege a Deputy Director General of the Health Ministry and a consultant paediatrician at the Chilaw hospital with the aid of this particular journalist has taken this measure to harm their reputation. Explaining the background to the whole issue, Dr. Nimal Ratnasena, Vice President of the GMOA and officer of the Consultant Transfer Board said their only contribution to the Consultant Specialists transfer list (regarding the 741 consultants in Sri Lanka) was to provide their observations and suggestions. This was in a bid to provide an equitable service to all grades of people in line with the national health policy. A survey done by the GMOA has found there are no ENT (ear, nose, throat) specialists in Badulla, Anuradhapura and the whole of the North-East Province. The survey also revealed there are no dermatologists in 6 provinces. Thus they brought forward the idea of distributing consultant care according to the hospital hierarchy. |
