Almost he entire nursing staff, bar a few, went on strike from noon yesterday at the Ratnapura hospital in protest against the transfer of a male nurse who was the centre of controversy last week.
The male nurse, the leader of a JVP backed union, was alleged to have verbally abused a lady doctor and disobeyed the orders of the hospital s director. He was yesterday transferred to the Kegalle hospital after a disciplinary inquiry.
The nurses, numbering over 500, are demanding that the transfer be cancelled, a fresh impartial inquiry be conducted and the report of the earlier inquiry be cancelled.
All Ceylon Health Services Uunion President Gamini Kumarasinghe told The Island that the union took a
unanimous decision to launch a strike by all nurses as an official inquiry into the conflict between a lady doctor and a male nurse was biased.
He said the conflict could have been resolved if the hospital director took impartial action. The ACHSU would ensure that all essential service would be carried out as usual. It has requested the Secretary to the Health Ministry Dr. A. Khandaliyaege to intervene.
Kumarasinghe said if the ACHSU was not afforded a meeting with the Health Ministry Secretary before 7.00 a.m. today they would not hesitate to discontinue even the essential services.

| This is another episode due to one arrogant trade unionist attached to a political party, full of political animals. Had he get accepted the first transfer order to the OPD, there won't be a case. On the other hand it is because this man is a political animal, the party has authorized the action. These political thugs want to cripple our society at any cost to gain more members to the party. |

One patient had already DIED following this 'little game' that is being played by Doctors and Nurses!
This shows to what low levels those in the medical profession and the nursing profession have fallen to. The Hypocritic Oath and the Nightingale Oath seem to be alien to doctors and nurses. The two 'professions' together are seeing to it that the sick just DIE.
