Currently The Ministry of Health has failed to establish and maintain discipline within the public health sector, which is a mandatory requirement for a corruption free government service.
This situation is highlighted by the lack of any effective action from the side of the ministry in taking the due disciplinary actions against the SPHI of Hingurakgoda MOH who joined the Ministry of Health as a PHI while he was a Navy deserter.
As a result of this there is a developing protest among the doctors against the Ministry of Health administrators,which may lead to a crisis in patient care delivery within the the Polonnaruwa district in the near future.
