In a letter to Director General Dr. Anil Jasinghe the organisation charged that the Epidemiology Unit of the Health Ministry has failed to share it's activities concerning the testing procedures done on Covid 19 afflicted patients.
The letter questioned the frequency of the Agressive Testing and Rapid Testing procefures done on patients as recommended by the WHO. Also it requested details on the mode of testing, capacity of testing and the adequacy of testing done to prevent the progress of the disease.
It said that although the orgnisation was a stakeholder in combating the Covid 19 spread the Health Ministry has not made it inclusive in the process. (Chrishanthi Christopher )
