Here is a good lesson for the Government why it should appoint a medical professional to the Parliament thro the National List as the Minister of Health. The Minister of Health must be a person who cannot be contested by Doctors on medical issues.

Donald Trump has already informed (via his social media) that FDA is going to approve this drug cocktail soon.

We as a ordinary citizen of this country can say is "salut" . These drugs are in use by our medical professional's. So, why these so called developed countries saying there are making different drug altogether? Just to fool us and make a quick buck?

Since this is a concept paper, it is advisable not to publish these articles with names of drugs etc. as you know some returnees from overseas are hiding, they may use these drugs to stay out for long. Even the general public may use it incase of emergency.

This is just a hypothesis and not the real solution. This medication can be dangerous to patients.

Dear GMOA, Please work closely with Health Ministry. You don't have to do a publicity stunt by publishing things on Media/TV..!! Like many other health care workers do silent, tireless, selfless, honest work at this moment (without seeking any publicity for their work) , please coordinate with those people/organizations without seeking publicity for the same. Thank You.

She is not taking any credit, she has linked the Chinese trials and French paper to her recommendations and included the generic names used in Sri Lanka. It is not good to always find fault. Try to give praise when due as well.
