The Government has taken measures to make the process to procure medicinal drugs more efficient, stated Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella.
According to the lawmaker, the Government has managed to reduce the procurement period, which used to take 9-11 months previously, to three to four months.
The main goal of these efforts is to provide medicines to patients in a transparent manner without any shortage, Minister Rambukwella said during a meeting with representatives of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF).
He also mentioned that the medicinal drug shortage in the country is now gradually diminishing.
Meanwhile, necessary steps have been taken to procure the medicinal drugs that are in short supply, the Health Minister explained.
However, the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) alleged that the stocks of 91 essential drugs have run dry at the central drug storage of the Government. The authorities are yet to take steps to resolve the issue, GMOA Secretary Dr. Haritha Aluthge said further, speaking on the matter.
