There is no truth to the reports on the state hospital system suffering from a shortage of medicines and surgical equipment, the Ministry of Health said in a statement.
Below is the press statement made by the Department of Government Information in this regard.
However, medical unions have publicly confessed that there is a serious shortage of medicines and medical equipment in the state hospital sector, due to which many Sri Lankans overseas have come forward to offer help.
The MOH’s press release suggesting otherwise only discourages them from dispatching aid amid this terrible crisis.
