No medicine shortage. Situation manageable: Health Minister (VIDEO)

Date:

There is no shortage of medicines in the country and the situation can be managed said Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, speaking to reporters after attending the occasion of receiving a consignment of medicines donated by China yesterday (15).

“It would be very wrong to interpret the situation to be a shortage of medicines. There is no such shortage, or any severe problem at this moment. There is an issue, but we can manage the situation by sharing the requirement. This problem may last for only a month and a half. I have received funds to purchase enough medicines for the next year and a half starting from August,” he said.
