One of the other most adverse consequences of the current economic crisis is the dire shortage of medicine and medical equipment. According to the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA), the price of medicine has nearly quadrupled in the last two months, and the dollar crunch the country is currently facing has compelled some importers to stop bringing down these items temporarily. This has left many Sri Lankans who require essential medicines in despair, and healthcare workers have raised serious concerns about the impending loss of lives, especially among the most vulnerable. SLSBC facilitated a donation of Rs. 1.5million worth of medicine from Roar Global in consultation with Dr. Lakith Peiris from Hemas Holdings and the Ministry of Health to the Lady Ridgway Hospital.
