The academics stopped work on Wednesday, January 24 to give time for the Government to respond to their grievances over non-payment of their Awards dating back to January 1, 2014.
The National Doctors’ Awards benefits the academic doctors employed by the Department of Health and government hospitals.
The Awards is an agreement between the PNG National Doctors Association and the Government.
