The GMOA cretins want to interfere in everything. Become a political party and contest and see how many votes you can get.

Would you care to disclose which Legislative Act states that the Minister of Health needs to obtain the approval of a self-appointed medical association to import drugs? Likewise, would the Govt. need to obtain approval from Lanka Private Bus Owners Association to import buses?

Some one in an earlier article commented that good things should be appreciated. I repeat, Rajitha should not be given anything related to health because he has been convicted for supplying sub standard medicine to the army. Now he is doing the same to suffering cancer patients.

GMOA must think they are a powerful bunch, the minister owns the health sector and is above the law. However the gift of a muzzle to the minister would be appreciated by we, the people.

I am no medical profession but an engineer back in Sri Lanka having worked in a developed county for 25 years. From my opinion, Sri Lanka does not have the knowhow or capability to test the quality of even a "Panadol". The procedure followed in Sri Lanka is to get the vendor to provide international certification. Secondly Sri Lanka can not afford to have such laboratories What Rajitha is doing is right and a service to the people. The GMOA is just a group of mad dogs barking at anything except at "dictators".

There are cancer vaccines which are being developed worldwide, mostly injected to the affected area to strengthen the immune system fighting to eradicate the cancerous cells. What was GMOA, SLMC or Oncology Doctors doing to raise awareness and save lives. Nothing Do a search on web and find out the new developments, human testing, approvals already granted in western countries. These GMOA guys still hanamiti times.

the National Medicines Regulatory Authority (NMRA) is only authority can give the approval. Sri Lanka does not have facilities for comprehensive investigation of any drug. Second, there are same quality drugs at different prices. GMOA is shopping for other groups.

But please don't make this an issue to go on strike. We all know how hard the GMOA is looking for issues to walk out and have a jolly good time on the street.
