COLOMBO (News 1st); Hospital cannot turn away any patient for any reason, stressed Sri Lanka’s Deputy Director-General of Public Health Services Dr. Hemantha Herath on Saturday (21).
“People are at times worried if they would not be allowed to enter the hospital to seek treatment. If a person is critically ill he/she must be taken to the nearest hospital immediately,” he stressed adding hospitals are obliged to admit the patient.
Hospital Directors were informed by the Director-General of Health Services to ensure necessary plans are in place to protect the patients and hospital staff, he said.
“Every patient has a right to seek treatment even that patient has tested positive for COVID-19 or seeking treatment for an injury. The health ministry has taken every measure to ensure that right is not violated,” said Dr. Hemantha Herath.
