The Hon. S.M. Marikkar
S.M. Marikkar referred to the 2024 controversy over substandard medicines, noting reported deaths and loss of eyesight, and questioned why the complaints division had received no complaints. He argued that this indicated a lack of public awareness and requested that the division’s contact number be publicized.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Minister, I did not intend to ask supplementaries, but you know that in 2024 there was a period when substandard medicines entered Sri Lanka, people died, and some lost their eyesight. If the complaints division received not even a single complaint, it means the public are unaware of its existence. Please publicize the contact number of that complaints division.
