COLOMBO, Sri Lanka (AP) — Sri Lanka’s ruling coalition on Friday defeated a no-confidence motion against the country's health minister who has been accused of allegedly failing to secure enough essential drugs and laboratory equipment that some say resulted in preventable deaths in hospitals. The motion was initiated by opposition lawmakers who claimed Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella's actions had ruined the health sector. Sri Lanka’s total debt has exceeded $83 billion, of which $41.5 billion is foreign. Sri Lanka has secured a $3 billion bailout package from the International Monetary Fund and is taking steps to restructure its domestic and foreign debts. Amid the crisis, thousands of Sri Lanka are leaving the country for better paying jobs abroad, including about 1,500 doctors who have left over the last year, according to a union.

Mitul leacului miraculos al unui om sfânt din Sri Lanka care ar fi trebuit să prevină coronavirusul, s-a destrămat după ce un ministru a băut poțiunea și cu toate acestea, a luat virusul și a ajuns de urgență la spital, scrie digi24. Cu toate acestea, câteva săptămâni mai târziu el a fost testat pozitiv pentru coronavirus și a fost dus de urgență la spital pentru a primi tratament. De-a lungul ultimelor luni, mass-media pro-guvernamentală a oferit constant publicitate sfântului Bandara, care a susținut că formula miraculoasă i-a fost dezvăluită de Kali, zeița hindusă a morții și a distrugerii răului. După cele întâmplate, Guvernul s-a grăbit să se distanțeze de Bandara, a cărui leac a fost aprobat ca supliment alimentar de către unitatea oficială de medicamente indigene. „Deși unii parlamentari au luat poțiunea, Guvernul nu o susține”, a spus Keheliya Rambukwella, într-o conferință de presă.
