Former Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne said there are guidelines to be followed when unapproved drugs are being imported.
"Earlier, this was not done in an ad-hoc manner, on the whims of the Minister and the CEO. We followed a guideline, which was followed until 2021," Senaratne said.
"In 2020 there were 414 requests for Waivers of Registration, out of which 185 were approved and 183 were rejected by an expert committee," he added.
The same procedure was followed the year after, Senaratne said.
"However there was a special pathway created in 2022, where approval was granted without the committee, according to the wishes of the Minister. Just this year there have been 55 requests out of which 54 have been approved," Senaratne said. (Darshana Sanjeewa Balasuruya)

99% of our parliamentarians are saints, we lost GSP when Rajitha was the fisheries minister as he blindfoldedly gave away our ocean resources to Chinese companies and became a shareholder of seafood companies….

Inefficiency thrives on inefficiency Thursday, 03 August 2023 10:26 PM
2022 was chaotic year for this country, ruled by a man who had gone bonkers. He was surrounded by a set of "YES SIR" people, no better than him. In management there is theory that says, Inefficiency thrives on Inefficiency. There was a big struggle within, to see who is the most inefficient. Everybody won.

Rajitha too has many skeletons in his cupboards where questioning him is necessary as to how he collected them. Until the green signal comes from the Big Boss no investigation
Health related imports done with corrupt practices Friday, 04 August 2023 04:44 AM
When decisions are done by politician or the politicians hand picked officials there will be corruption in the decision making. Ministers always claim private businesses are being hampered, but when Minister or President starts to get involved there is bound to be more lower quality happenings.
