Health Ministry suspends Dr Chamal Sanjeewa
By Sujeewa Thathsara
The Ministry of Health has taken steps to suspend Dr G.G. Chamal Sanjeewa, citing breaches of the Establishment Code. This decision follows findings from an investigation conducted by the Health Services Committee of the Public Service Commission.
Dr Chamal Sanjeewa, who also serves as the Chairman of the Federation of Medical and Civil Rights Trade Unions, was previously suspended in 2022. That suspension was reportedly due to his revelations regarding the malnutrition situation among children in the Hambantota District.
Dr. Sanjeewa is also a member of the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB).
Speaking to The Island yesterday (30th), Dr. Sanjeewa stated that he had no intention of returning to state service and, therefore, would not be responding to the letter from the Public Service Commission.
