Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Thank you for your interest in developing the hospital. Whether under the Central Government or Provincial Councils, all are government hospitals and we are intervening. Staffing and facility shortages are not confined only to the North and East, though they are more acute there. We are urgently discussing with the Governor, central officials and provincial officials to fill vacancies as possible and to implement a proper development plan. I invite you to join those discussions.
