Unionized healthcare workers suspend strike in Sri Lanka as of late Jan. 23; further work stoppages possible.
Unionized healthcare workers have called off a nationwide strike as of late Jan. 23. The decision follows the Health Services Director General's reversal of the Disturbance, Availability, and Transport (DAT) allowance suspension due to insufficient funds. However, practitioners affiliated with some medical associations could stage additional work stoppages if they perceive government officials to be reneging on their demand over the coming days.
Monitor trusted sources for relevant updates concerning the status of medical facilities over the coming days.
