They cannot escape the sins they have committed on the people of this nation. This was a notoriously corrupt organization and Keheliya ruined it to almost total destruction.

They haven't given reasons for their resignation ? During their service in the NMRA ,have they contributed positively for the benefit of the patients ! They did nothing to control the prices of Medicines. Are they leaving because they have made enough ?

Even though they are lawyers and Doctors in the board they are all corrupt indujuals who are worshipping mahinda and pottuwa regim. All the board must be held responsible for the malpractice.

It is the basic formation of the NMRA that is at fault with GMOA and Minister having too much say in the composition of the Committee and appointing their own nominees. The whole NMRA Act or Regulation of the appointment of the Members must be changed to accommodate independent competent honest persons..
