The Hon. Rohana Bandara
Rohana Bandara urged the Minister to enforce existing MOH regulations through relevant authorities inspecting dispensaries, rather than placing the burden on the public. He raised concerns that indigenous and homeopathic practitioners are dispensing allopathic medicines without proper supervision, and called for the Ministry to take responsibility for implementing the law.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, regulations and laws have been introduced to MOH offices for this. Then relevant institutions can visit all dispensaries in the area and check. To my knowledge, ordinary people cannot conduct medical supervision. We see indigenous practitioners dispensing allopathic medicines and homeopaths also giving allopathic drugs. When the patient gets cured, people hail that practitioner as “top.” You have issued a set of MOH regulations to implement measures. It is unfair to burden the public. When there is a powerful ministry, you should enforce the law, shouldn’t you?
