Our opinion on removal of the previous minister of health is complex. In spite of all the disadvantages of Siripala we could see some positive points of him being the minister.
Firstly, due to the presence of the common enemy the unity among the doctors was great. Even the ones with extremely different opinions on professional issues and even ones with different political back grounds had one thing in common. That was the universal hatred towards Siripala.
The second point was at times when our doctors /the union wanted to protest against Siripala, it was an easy task for it to be rationalized in front of media and the public. The bad past history of Siripala, made the task easy.
At the same time, if the new minister also tries to follow the same anti doctor behaviour of Siripala, the media and the public will then start looking at us suspiciously. They may think that both the ministers could not be wrong and the doctors are the real trouble makers. Some times Siripala also may come up and tell the public that the GMOA is not allowing to do anything in the health sector.
Even the attitude of the President towards the doctors may not be the same when notorious Siripala is not in the picture.
The main purpose of this post is to highlight that the universal remedy for all these aliments is –the UNITY.
Do not forget “Unite we win, divide we fall”.
