WHO Director Dr. General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had said that the islandwide vaccination drive launched by Sri Lanka against Covid-19 is well organised, very successful and set an example to the entire world, said Pharmaceutical Production, Supply and Regulation State Minister Prof. Channa Jayasumana.

Prof. Jayasumana said that the WHO Director General had expressed his views on Sri Lanka’s vaccination drive against Covid-19 when he met him at the WHO Headquarters in Geneva recently.

According to Prof. Jayasumana, the WHO Director General had said that it was President Gotabaya Rajapaksa’s efforts, and the dedication of the Security Forces and health staff which led to the success of Sri Lanka’s vaccination drive.

Prof. Jayasumana said that some factors akin to the development of the health sector and drug supply in Sri Lanka were discussed during the meeting.
