It is reported that the distribution of Thriposha has been stopped by the offices of the Medical Officers of Health island-wide.
For a long time, the Government of Sri Lanka has provided free Thriposha as a remedy for malnutrition in pregnant mothers and young children.
But in the face of the current economic crisis, it has stalled.
A spokesman for Lanka Thriposha had told the media that production of Thriposha had been suspended for three months now due to lack of raw materials.
