Health Minister Pledges Depoliticised Medicine Supply to Strengthen Healthcare System

Date:

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.

For the first time in the country’s healthcare history, officials involved in medicine procurement convened at the hospital’s new Outpatient Department auditorium to discuss streamlining procedures and reducing delays that contribute to drug shortages.

The initiative focuses on improving efficiency, transparency, and the timely delivery of essential medications, marking a significant step toward strengthening Sri Lanka’s public health infrastructure.
