In a strong move to improve Sri Lanka’s healthcare delivery, Minister of Health and Mass Media Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa has vowed to keep the medicine procurement process free from political interference.

Addressing a key stakeholder meeting at the Colombo National Hospital, the Minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring a reliable and uninterrupted supply of high-quality medicines to the public.
