The Hon. (Dr.) Hansaka Wijemuni - Deputy Minister of Health and Mass Media
The Deputy Minister said National Health Promotion Fund figures had been presented and noted that individual hospital funds must operate within an approved framework. He stated that receiving funds into personal bank accounts is improper and, if complaints arise, legal inquiries should be conducted through the Ministry. He added that emergency donations of medicines or equipment may be accepted, but must be documented, accounted for, and reported to the Ministry by hospital administrations.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 I presented figures for the National Health Promotion Fund. Separately, hospitals may have their own funds, but they must operate within a proper framework. No one is permitted to receive such funds into personal bank accounts. If that has happened, it is seriously wrong. Upon receipt of complaints, inquiries must proceed under the law through the Ministry. For emergency supplies of medicines or equipment to hospitals, receiving them is not an issue, but proper documentation is essential, and hospital administrations must inform the Ministry. I emphasize the necessity of maintaining records and proper accounting.
