Health, Nutrition and Indigenous Medicine Minister Rajitha Senaratne has directed the Ministry to remove the threshold of Rs 1.5 million allocated for a cancer patient and to allocate funds without a limit for their treatments.

Minister said allocating a limited amount for treatment gives the notion that the patient should prepare for their death when the amount was drained.

When it's for people every approval is needed but when you got treated in Singapore no approval but the poor people paid this is our politics

Wake up people This doesnt mean the health budget allocation has gone up It simply says I will make a fancy decision that will ensure we will have a drug shortage in hospitals before the usual shortage starts around August. via DM Android App
