🔴🔴🔴 Sad situation
Patients at Colombo National Hospital are being turned away from life-saving dialysis because the health system has completely run out of dialyzers—even private pharmacies have none left.
Kidney patients are literally left stranded between life and death while costs skyrocket to Rs 39,000/week for those forced to seek private care.
Healthcare is a basic right, not a luxury. The government’s failure to manage critical medical supplies is costing human lives.

I was delighted to meet aspiring leaders, from Inclusive Political Leader Academy, across Sri Lanka’s political spectrum to exchange views on youth politics, Sri Lanka’s future, and the Westminster system shared by UK and Sri Lanka.
A win for Sri Lanka’s SMEs, the proposed VAT/SSCL threshold cut from Rs. 60Mn to Rs. 36Mn will not proceed. Gratitude to all in the Opposition who worked tirelessly to make this case. Broaden the tax base for sure. But never on the backs of our smallest businesses. #srilanka
VESAK COINCIDENCE: Sri Lanka’s Buddhist hierarchy today suspended Ven. Pallegama Hemarathana, 71, chief custodian of the Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, over child sexual abuse allegations, a rare disciplinary move by any Buddhist sect on the island.
Women’s health is not a “women’s issue.” It is the foundation of every family. The people who carry the greatest burden of care in our homes should not have to neglect their own wellbeing to care for everyone else.
What kind of society are we building if our mothers and daughters are expected to endure pain quietly, while those who speak openly or seek support are judged?
Women who take care of themselves should be respected. Men who support them should be applauded, not mocked.
Menstrual Hygiene Day should remind us of one painful truth: period poverty should not exist in any compassionate society. Not in this day and age. Not anywhere.
1/ Credibility, conviction, and democratic leadership matter now more than ever.
@sajithpremadasa and the SJB continue to stand for accountable, people-centered governance in Sri Lanka.

I think Law Schools should stop teaching International Law and replace it with US Foreign Policy. Because clearly International Law is US Foreign Policy.
