Dr. Shihabdeen Mohamed Shafi, the doctor at the Kurunegala Teaching Hospital has decided to donate arrears of his salary amounting over Rs. 2.67 million for the purchase of essential medicines for hospitals.
Dr. Shafi who was on compulsory leave on charges of performing infertility surgery, has received a cheque of over Rs. 2.67 million salary arrears from the Health Ministry last week.
The salary arrears include the basic salary, interim allowance, cost of living, and allowance in lieu of pension for the period of compulsory leave imposed on Dr. Sihabdeen.
Dr. Shafi who was employed at the Kurunegala teaching hospital was arrested on May 25th, 2019, on charges of performing infertility surgery.
On July 25, 2019, the Kurunegala Magistrate’s Court ordered that the doctor be released on bail.
The Public Services Commission in December 2021 decided to reinstate Dr. Shafi and instructed the Secretary to the Ministry of Health to pay arrears of his salary for the period he was sent on compulsory leave.

The unfaithful will never realize Doctor's hard earned money deployed nor will they appreciate his concern. The medicine will be sold to pharmacies.

Those women who claimed to have been made infertile can now get medicine off this fund for their ' illegitimate' children. (Why I used the term is because of you claim that you have been made infertile, the child you may bear is illegitimate!)

From the beginning it was quite clear that you were innocent. You are summoned any time of the day when it was necessary to save human lives. Leading politicians used you to get elected. I drove through that Navinna junction with protesters on both sides asking for your head.
