# President Wickremesinghe Calls for Transparency and Efficient Distribution of Drugs in Sri Lanka’s Health Sector

During a meeting to discuss issues pertaining to the health sector, President Ranil Wickremesinghe said the Health Ministry must ensure there is no delay in people getting drugs & transparency is required for all available drugs in Sri Lanka. 

He said web sites run by the Health Ministry must give the total amount of drugs available & the amount available in each hospital daily. The networking system will enable the exchange of drugs between hospitals.
