The Health Services Committee of the Public Services Commission has ordered the Health Ministry to reassign Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen, who was accused of performing illegal sterilisation operations, to the Kurunegala Teaching Hospital.
The Secretary of the Health Services Committee of the Public Services Commission in a letter to the Health Secretary said the disciplinary actions against Dr. Shafi have been terminated as the allegations against him have not been proved by the written and oral evidence of the report submitted by the Expert Committee that investigated into the allegations against him.
Dr. Shafi attached to Kurunegala Hospital was sent on compulsory leave after being accused of performing illegal sterilisation operations.
