The Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran
Hon. Thurairasa Ravikaran raised a supplementary question on the condition of the Mullaitivu District General Hospital, noting that its male and female wards operate in temporary buildings and that overcrowding has forced patients to be treated on mats in corridors. He said Mullaitivu and Mannar are the only Vanni district general hospitals listed under hardship areas and requested that the Government give priority to constructing permanent patient wards for these hospitals.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, in response to my first question, you stated that the male and female wards of the Mullaitivu District General Hospital are functioning in temporary buildings. In connection with that, I raise my first supplementary question.
¶ 02 Among the district general hospitals listed under hardship areas, only the Mannar District General Hospital and the Mullaitivu District General Hospital in the Vanni region where I reside are included. For many years, we have been expecting permanent patient wards. Beds are full and patients are treated on mats in corridors; this unfortunate situation continues primarily in these district hospitals. We see this as a neglect by the Government. Like in other district hospitals, I request that permanent patient wards for our district hospitals be given priority. I expect a response on this.
