The Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption has called on patients and other individuals to come forward with information regarding neurosurgical procedures conducted under the supervision of Specialist Neurosurgeon Dr. Maheshi Surasinghe Wijeratne at the Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital.
The Commission is currently investigating multiple allegations, including the use of EVD and VP shunt surgical instruments sourced through external parties, which are believed to have caused harm and financial loss to patients. Statements have already been recorded from approximately 77 individuals affected by such procedures.
This follows the recent arrest of Dr. Wijeratne and two others by the Bribery Commission. She was remanded until June 24 by the Colombo Magistrate’s Court over allegations of selling medicines at inflated prices through her private medical institution, while deliberately avoiding procurement through the government hospital. The alleged scheme is said to have caused losses exceeding Rs. 30 million.
