The newly formed influential health sector professionals group, the Academy of Health Professionals (AHP), yesterday declared that its members would launch a 24-hour strike commencing from 7.00 am today.

President AHP Ravi Kumudesh told the media that the decision to stage a strike had been taken as talks between the AHP and the officials of the Ministry of Health had failed.

Kumudesh alleged that cuts in health sector allowances through the 2025 Budget proposals, had badly affected health workers.

Health professionals, including those from paramedical medical services, medical laboratories, allied medical services, radiology, medical practitioners, family health services, optometrists, public health inspectors, entomologists, dental technicians, and pharmacists, are expected to join today’s strike.
