The Hon. Chamara Sampath Dasanayake
Chamara Sampath Dasanayake raised a supplementary question on the shortage of dialysis needles at Padavi Hospital in Padavi Sri Pura, noting the high number of kidney patients in the area. He said patients are being forced to buy needles privately at a cost of Rs. 2,000 for two, and urged the Minister to investigate and address the issue nationally for kidney patients.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Mr. Speaker, I will ask the supplementary obtained on loan. Hon. Minister, this is not merely a provincial matter; it concerns the division of Padavi Sri Pura where there is a high number of kidney patients. Please inquire into the condition at the Padavi Hospital: there are no dialysis needles; patients must buy them privately — Rs. 2,000 for two needles. This is needed across Sri Lanka for kidney patients. People are in great hardship. Please look into this — smiling alone won’t solve it, Doctor.
