No medicine in hospital – no money to get proper treatment
Patients are severely inconvenienced due to the shortage of medicine in the kidney unit in Kandy General Hothe spital say reports.
Medicines prescribed for patients with kidney related diseases are very expensive and as a result they are destitute as they are unable to get proper treatment say patients.
The President of the Welfare Society of Kidney Patients Mr Jayantha Wasalamuni says the inefficiency of health officials and the failure to pay proper attention regarding getting down stocks of needed medicines is the cause for the suffering of these patients and their loved ones.
The patients say immediate mediation of the Minister of Health and relevant officials is needed to bring relief to patients who are in agony due to the unavailability of medicine and proper caretaking.
