Medical Administrators Anil Jasinghe, Amal Harsha de Silva and Jayaruwan Bandara, Director General of Health Services, who have been instrumental in cracking down on Covid 19 since its inception The consequences of the removal / curse have to be experienced today, says Dr. Rukshan Bellana, Chairman of the Government Medical Officers’ Forum.
He says it is still unbelievable why they were sidelined and that the government should give reasons now or later.
He also says that an upside down Kovid regime is now operating in the country.
He said there was no need to lock down the country in March, the first month of the Kovid wave, which was the first month of the year.
Dr. Rukshan Bellana says that the health system was well controlled under the leadership of the then Director General of Health, Dr. Anil Jasinghe, and that the first wave of the Kovid epidemic was the best possible control after the tsunami.
He said that in the current situation, the best solution to control the Kovid epidemic was to lock down the country and that it was a grave mistake not to allow the Ministry of Health to take the lead in the fight against the Kovid epidemic. He says that due to this all the health sectors have become frustrated as a result of which the health mechanism which was functioning in the past has been paralyzed.
Dr. Rukshan Bellana says that although there should be technical committees headed by WHO experts Lakkumar Fernando and Ananda Wijewickrama, there is no such situation.
He points out that the whole country has been transformed from a cluster of Brandix that started in September after the removal of Anil Jasinghe in August to the present, and that the whole country has been transformed into something at this moment. That. Experienced people such as Rajitha Senaratne, the former Minister of Health in particular, should be brought back and committees should be formed to seek their support.
