Health, Nutrition and Indigenous Medicine Minister Rajitha Senaratne has directed the Ministry to remove the threshold of Rs 1.5 million allocated for a cancer patient and to allocate funds without a limit for their treatments.

Minister said allocating a limited amount for treatment gives the notion that the patient should prepare for their death when the amount was drained.

Another gimmick! You could see more wonders [Rather blunders] of Asia to fool the masses before the election! Past 18 moth's progress of the country against Diyawannawa perks,

Wake up people This doesnt mean the health budget allocation has gone up It simply says I will make a fancy decision that will ensure we will have a drug shortage in hospitals before the usual shortage starts around August. via DM Android App
