The Sri Lanka Medical Association, the apex body of the medical profession in Sri Lanka, is deeply concerned about the situation which has arisen following the allegations made against a medical professional from Teaching Hospital Kurunegala.
We expect that the ongoing investigations will be conducted methodically by the relevant authorities and completed without delay.
We urge all, especially the members of the medical profession, to refrain from making hasty and ill-considered statements until the true facts are established. Such actions could aggravate the already troubled situation in the country at present.
