The Hon. Dharmapriya Dissanayake
Hon. Dharmapriya Dissanayake raised concerns about unregulated “medicinal” products used by people with health-related needs, noting reports of harm and cases where courier-delivered items differed from what was ordered. He asked whether the Ministry or State Ayurvedic Corporation would introduce regulation and enforce proper standards for such products.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 My second supplementary: People use certain so‑called “medicinal” products due to special needs—bodily difficulties, etc. We have seen many facing hardship after using these products. There is little legal protection. Often, these are delivered by courier; and sometimes the delivered items do not match what was ordered. It appears there is no regulation. Under you, will the State Ayurvedic Corporation or Ministry ensure regulation and proper standards? What steps will be taken?
