Closed hospitals to be re-opened

Ninety seven hospitals in the country are currently in a state of closure due to the non-availability of doctors, Health Minister Maithreepala Sirisena said during a visit to Kantale Hospital yesterday.

He said of them 80 hospitals are in the North and the East and the balance 17 are in Nuwara Eliya and Hambantota districts.

The Minister said he hoped to revive these hospitals from next year to offer a better service to people in backward areas. He invited trade unions to strengthen his hands in this difficult task.

Appointments to 270 new doctors are scheduled to be made next year and the Minister said some of the new doctors will be posted to these hospitals. The reasons for the closure of North and East hospitals had been the refusal of doctors to serve in these areas during the conflict. (MF)
