Colombo, June 10 (Daily Mirror) - The Trade Union Alliance of Doctors for Medical and Civil Rights has called for a formal investigation into doctors at prison hospitals, if any, who have misused their privileges and have been involved in malpractices.

President of the organisation, Dr. Chamal Sanjeewa, commenting on the rising allegations of malpractices within the Department of Prisons, told the media that action should be taken against senior officials and doctors at prison hospitals who issued false medical reports to provide special facilities to prominent individuals, including politicians and senior officials in remand custody.

He noted that on several occasions, malpractices involving doctors issuing false medical reports, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic had been exposed in court.

Dr. Sanjeewa urged the government to launch a thorough investigation into these incidents as well.

Way to go. Very good move. Everyone knows how some people get admitted to prison hospital as soon as they are remanded.

PKD, no action Pacha talking only. Biggest corruptors are advising Pacha Kumara. Example Usup and Hulangona. Nandalal was the deputy of Arjuna Mahendran during the bond scam.

Everyone's suddenly woken up to report on wrongdoings, malpractices and illegal activities as people are slowly beginning to trust the legal framework of the country. This was never ever possible with the corrupted to the bone leaders in the previous regimes. They should be ashamed of themselves for allowing these cons to run riot for aa long as we can remember.
