President
Mahinda Rajapaksa told new batch of doctors receiving appointments last
Tuesday (20) that the Government will soon upgrade and enhance
healthcare infrastructure in the North and East. He called upon the
Tamil speaking doctors to volunteer to work in the North and East as
patients find it difficult to communicate with doctors who are not
conversant in Tamil.
Health Minister Nimal
Siripala de Silva addressing the doctors said that the government is
conducting a special programme to train specialist doctors to overcome
the shortage of consultants in hospitals. He expressed his satisfaction
that the new batch of doctors included those who had training in
anesthesia. The Minister also promised to provide medical officers wit
living quarters.
