Colombo, Feb 6 (Daily Mirror) - The Government Medical Officers' Forum (GMOF) yesterday accused the female medical officer in charge of Welikada prison of allowing VIPs who were imprisoned, to enjoy life inside the Prison Hospital.
GMOF President told Daily Mirror the authorities keep mum despite repeated complaints to the Health Ministry against the said medical officer of misusing her powers.
"The action of the said medical officer has not only allowed VIPs but also imprisoned drug smugglers to comfortably stay inside the prison hospital," he said.
Dr. Bellana said that in this situation, the real patients who are in the Welikada prison have lost the opportunity to receive a response.
Moreover, he said several complaints have been made to the Human Rights Council and to internal doctors and no action have been taken against the doctor yet.
Dr. Bellana said that the said doctor has come to work under the seal of being the Chief Medical Officer and that the Health Ministry has allowed her to work there for over five years.

About time Srilankan courts sentence these VIPs to the Prison hospital.

Fellow citizens, if you want change in SL, you need to start naming and shaming these individuals. Otherwise, no action will ever come of it.

Why hasn’t a formal request been made for an independent panel of Medical Experts to be appointed to review her (CMO) certifications ? I feel sorry for the poor magistrate who must be currently being subjected to immense political pressure. Let’s hope her integrity and moral fibre is rock solid.

When doctor did operation wrongly it is the human errors, when politician arrest he enjoy ultimate facility of medical. These are normal.
N.M. Perera Tuesday, 06 February 2024 09:16 AM
In Sri Lanka this practice is rife. Laws must be one for all. All corrupt Politicians whoever, must be tried and jailed with hard work within Prison for Sri Lanka to prosper again.
Steve Tuesday, 06 February 2024 09:45 AM
She must be receiving huge bribes.
Ah Tuesday, 06 February 2024 10:06 AM
Fire her. Before that get a statement of her assets and how she amassed it. Unscrupulous people must be incarcerated and never be allowed to use the prison hospital.
Nodaking kalakani Tuesday, 06 February 2024 10:16 AM
He should be in home distention with visits to the liquor store permitted.
Nimal Tuesday, 06 February 2024 10:19 AM
I don't think it is fair to criticize her as she is most likely fearful of the consequences if she refuses to oblige to these corrupt thugs called VIPs. Instead, there should be a mechanism where only a medical panel overseen by the GMOA should be approving inmates into the prison hospital.
Ram Tuesday, 06 February 2024 10:43 AM
Doctors who facilitate remanded and the convicts to spend time in Hospital sans illness/good reasons must be charge sheeted

We must salute FM - SF was not in the prisons hospital. We saw him in the Jumper suit. According to GMOF the Lady Prisons Doctor has to be arrested and charged on various criminal doings.
rbh Tuesday, 06 February 2024 11:05 AM
To admit him to the hospital must a medical report showing the history of diagnosis and this misrepresentation of information or identity to deceive others if the documents are not available if nor availabe.
sam Tuesday, 06 February 2024 12:57 PM
Examination and action required against the concerned doctor.
Jayanga Tuesday, 06 February 2024 01:45 PM
The incoming government should thoroughly scrutinize the financial records and assets of doctors. Those found to have undisclosed wealth should be held accountable and face imprisonment.
djkperera Tuesday, 06 February 2024 01:49 PM
Testing and checking typically require a considerable time investment of around 4 to 5 hours, followed by a waiting period for the reports. This is the standard procedure, particularly in government hospitals, where obtaining all the necessary medical reports can be time-consuming. My query pertains to the sudden acquisition of these reports, which seems unusual given the typical process.
Aquarius Tuesday, 06 February 2024 04:44 PM
Please check the bank account/s and other assets of this medical officer. She must be well looked after for her services. Depriving genuine patients of necessary treatment is a crime when these VIPs are clearly not SICK! She must be well protected too.
Sambo Wednesday, 07 February 2024 08:30 AM
The prison hospital medical officer must have got a "Santhosam" from the minister.
