There is no shortage of ‘Tamiflu’ in hospitals to treat the influenza patients, Health Services Director General Dr. Jayasundara Bandara said today.

The Government Medical Officers Association GMOA on Monday claimed that there this medicine was in short supply.

Dr. Bandara said Tamiflu was only used to teat influenza patients and never uses for patients with viral flue or dengue as claimed by the GMOA.

“Tamiflu is provided under the supervision of a specialized doctor in extreme cases. The medicine is distributed under a strict observation of the Epidemic Disease Unit. Tamiflu tablets have been sent to hospitals as required,” he said. (Chaturanga Pradeep)

    No Degree is Artificially and Egoistically Hyped Up Like A Medical Degree .But in Reality The Doctors Are Nothing But Middlemen Who Stand Between The Scientists Who Make The Medicines And the Patients Who Need The Medicines.

    Middlemen is the Best Characterisation of the doctors.

    GMOA is misleading the public.

    Please do not take any notice of the selfish GMOA, who are desperate for recognition after SAITM failure.

    GMOA should be more responsible and make sure before making any accusations. If they are spreading false statements, should be taken to task. Simply can't trust them now. Second only to JO.

    Indeed there is a shortage of Tamiflu for GOMA's to smuggle out of hospitals and prescribe to private patients.

    These GMOA killers should not be taken too seriously as stooges of MR who has made the health sector miserable. via DM Android App
