A special mechanism has been introduced for health staffers to obtain fuel during the present crisis situation where the health workers could obtain fuel at designated filling stations across the country on Fridays, Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella said.

He said in a twitter post that the mechanism was introduced following a discussion with Power and Energy Minister Kanchana Wijesekara to ensure continuous supply of fuel for health staff.

The Minister has instructed all Heads of Health Institutions to issue a letter certifying the individual as a staff member of particular Health Institution to be produced at the filling station as a proof of identity.

A list of designated filling stations have been announced covering all the provinces across the country. (Ajith Siriwardana)
