The US dollars 200 million from the Indian credit line is to be used to fulfill emergency needs of the health sector, Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella told the ministry consultative committee today.
He also stated that Cabinet approval has been granted to allocate the remaining US $ 35 million from the us dollars one billion received from the Indian Credit line in addition to the dollars 200 million for the same.
Further concerns were raised regarding excessive charges in private hospitals in a context where free health is facing challenges to meet the demand due to the forex crisis. Members of Parliament stated that given the failure to maintain government hospitals and provide with requisite medical equipment, patients are thus compelled to obtain the service of private hospitals.
“A sum of $ 28 million grant provided by China, has also been utilized for the supply of 14 vital medicines required,” the Minister said. (Yohan Perera and Ajith Siriwardana)

This is the clown that said there is no shortage of medicine and also no child malnutrition. Not only there is child but soon there will be adult malnutrition except for 134 fellow clowns.

According to UN over 300 millions of Indians live under poverty line but even this grim statistic doesn’t give the picture of what actual poverty looks like in India. An average Indian family in poverty look like this “Husband works as daily wage earning labourer and some days no work at all, wife looks after 9 children all suffering from malnutrition and diseases having already lost 3 other children to diseases and now planing to sell some children specially girls to anyone who could pay them sufficient money to look after her other children, and occasionally her husband forcing her to prostitution to have money for the family”. This is the 300 million poverty looks in real life in India. We have poverty in Sri Lanka even in America there is poverty but no country has the depth of poverty seen in India. Such a country India which can’t look after its beastly population is trying to offer credit line to Sri Lanka ? Where is the catch ?
