The Hon. Rohana Bandara
Hon. Rohana Bandara raised a supplementary question concerning reports of illegal medical practitioners operating in the Puttalam District and wider North Western Province, citing undercover investigations by “Dasatha Lanka News.” He asked the Minister to implement a plan to identify, apprehend, and eliminate the activities of persons dispensing medicine while posing as doctors.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, as this question relates to Puttalam District in the North Western Province, I raise this supplementary. “Dasatha Lanka News” carried many reports about illegal medical practitioners. Their institution has conducted undercover investigations and exposed information. People have been given medicines on a large scale by persons appearing as illegal doctors in various parts of the North Western Province. Hon. Minister, we heard your claim recently that you can do even more than the deities in Kataragama. Since you spoke that way, could you implement a plan to apprehend such illegal practitioners and remove these activities from society?
