Speaking to the Daily Mirror, president of the Federation of Health Professionals, Ravi Kumudesh said Dr. Bellana had vehemently criticized the junior staffers for their involvement in the recent strike organized by health trade unions, humiliating the health workers.
“He (Dr. Bellana) is not appropriate to hold the position as he has put down the health workers and disgraced their rules, raising tensions to boiling point,” he said.
