Pharmacists to strike Friday
The Government and Hospital Pharmacists
Association (GHOSPA) has announced that their
members will withdraw their services to
out-patients Friday July 31.

A statement by GHOSPA said they have decided to
take this action due to the failure of the Finance
Ministry to address their grievances by migrating
them unto the Single Spine Salary Structure
despite a directive by the Chief of Staff almost a
year ago.

“It is regrettable that since 8th August 2014
when the Chief of Staff directed the Ministry of
Finance to implement the road map for resolving
the salary grievances of pharmacists in the public
sector, following a Sub Cabinet Committee report.
However, the Finance Ministry has demonstrated a
clear unwillingness to carry out the directive,”
the statement from GHOSPA said.

The statement added “…unless and until we
receive an express undertaking for the execution
of the Chief of Staff’s directive, we will not
return to work. We want to reiterate that, this
well-thought-out recommended action has come from
the memberships who have patiently waited.”
