The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a proposal to provide medical facilities similar to the National Transport Medical Institute (NTMI) at 150 district and base hospitals around the Island.
The proposal is in line with the Government's decision to decentralise the issuance of medical reports needed to obtain licences for light vehicles.
The cabinet proposal was presented by the Minister of Public Transport Management Mahinda Amaraweera at yesterday's (5) cabinet meeting.
The government intends to establish a separate unit in each of the hospitals to issue the medical reports.
The government also plans to amendment the Motor Traffic act no 8 of 2009, to allow doctors registered under the Medical Ordinance to issue medical reports for the driver’s licenses.
