Emergency medicine purchases halted

Date:

Colombo (LNW): The government has made a decision to halt the emergency purchases of medicines with immediate effect.

The announcement has been made by Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella.

This decision, while sudden, is believed to be rooted in a broader government strategy to overhaul the existing drug procurement processes.

Over the past few years, emergency purchases had become a standard method for acquiring essential medicines, often leading to increased costs and concerns over quality assurance.
