GAMOA President Dr. P.Hewagamage told the Daily Mirror that, the said number of ingrediats used to import as they not available in our country. Most of the ingredients are imported from countries such as China and India.
"The difficulties faced by the suppliers prevented them from importing the ingredients. This could cause a serious issue for the Ayurvedic medicine manufacturing in the future," he said.
Information reached us say that the physicians could not complete the Ayurvedic prescription without the essential ingredients, Dr. Hewagamage said.
Therefore, the GAMOA requested the President to take immediate action to grant concessions for suppliers to import the essential ingredients so that we could continue our service. (Chaturanga Pradeep Samarawickrama)
