The Ministry of Health appointed Dr. Jayaruwan Bandara as the ministry’s Spokesperson.
Dr. Bandara yesterday (12) announced his appointment to the position during a press briefing that was held at the Health Promotion Bureau (HPB) auditorium.
When asked about his sudden change in responsibility, given that he was the Director of the Medical Research Institute (MRI) and that is was during his tenure that the Covid-19 PCR testing had to be conducted on a daily basis, he said: “As an employee of the public service I have to accept the roles that are given to me by the Ministry of Health from time to time. I am still very much attached to the MRI as a Deputy Director and from now on, I will function as the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health.”
Just a week ago, Dr. Bandara was demoted from the position of Director to Deputy Director of the MRI. The matter had gained the attention of the Opposition as well as the governing Members of Parliament, and was taken up as a topic of discussion on 7 October.
At that time, Dr. Bandara’s potential appointment as the Spokesperson for the Ministry of Health had not been made public.Health Ministry | Dr. Jayaruwan Bandara new Spokesperson
