Raids will be conducted islandwide from tomorrow to round up some 30,000 quacks by Regional Directors of Health Services (RDHS) on a directive of Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena.

Minister Sirisena has instructed Director General of Health Services (RDHS) Dr. Ajith Mendis to direct Regional Directors of Health Services to raid all illegal dispensaries run by persons without qualifications to practise medicine but carry out impersonating as qualified medical professionals, Minister Sirisena told Daily Mirror.
