GMOA seem to be scared to compete with other doctors. In a demogracy all students have a right to educatin. Private medical faculty is a national issue facing younger generation in this nation. This has nothing to do with the GMOA. GMOA is not doing any thing for the doctors. GMOA leadership is selfish, they have personal agendas.
Role of the GMOA is to look in to the issues of GMOA members.that is govenment medical officers.
Unfortunately, current GMOA has failed to achieve any thing for the medical profession. Now it has become a renewed form of newly appointed beggars inertia. GMOA is there to address burning issues facing medical personnel as a whole, professionals should be able to achieve broader and relevant issues like Saturday issue affecting all doctors without resorting to any form of trade union action though discussion and negotiation as a mature, respectable and an esteemed profession.
GMOA please attend to doctors issues.
