History & Background
THE HISTORY & BACKGROUND
The Government Ayurvedic Medical Officers' Association of Sri Lanka (SLGAMOA) was officially established on 28th December 2017. However, the results of a number of discussions and mergers with various progressive forces prior to this were released as follows.
There was a real vacuum in the field for the student leaders and progressive groups who were active in the Sri Lankan student movement, especially when it came to the field of active medical students representing the traditional camp and the fact that they did not have a real trade union representing true trade union rights. The main objectives of this organization are to update the knowledge of those who practice true Ayurvedic and Indigenous medicine, to disseminate their knowledge among their peers, as well as to protect professional rights and privileges and to win them at a time when privileges are being lost.
The Government of Sri Lanka Ayurvedic Medical Officers' Association is a trade union for the real professional rights of all registered Ayurvedic Medical Officers in the public service as well as all doctors registered with the Sri Lanka Ayurvedic Medical Council.

In addition to winning trade union rights and privileges, our association carries out a variety of activities to fulfill professional responsibilities and duties, especially knowledge updating and scholarly discourse.
And we have been able to fight for real trade union rights in the last few years without any discrimination, without any political affiliation, without any profit motive.One of the decisive milestones in this regard was our massive campaign in front of the Ministry of Health to obtain the allowance for doctors during the previous government, including the implementation of various poster campaigns and public awareness programs, and at present the people's representatives are giving allowances and privileges to doctors irrespective of party affiliation. Implementation of awareness programs related to etc.
The SLGAMOA organization was formed by the union of five trade unions and a large number of active members of the trade unions.
