PATIENT WHEELED OUTSIDE SRILANKA'S MAIN HOSPITAL

COL01:COLOMBO,5MAR97 - A hospital orderly wheels a patient outside Sri Lanka's main hospital in Colombo, where thousands of patients were turned away, as doctors staged a token strike to back demands for better pay March 5. The strike crippled about 700 government hospitals, with doctors attending to only emergencies. rg/al/Photo by Anuruddha Lokuhapuarachchi REUTERS
