“Suggesting a novel idea for marketing the concept, sub-titled ‘a patient centric e-health solution’ the minister said: “Let the private hospitals implement this concept. Then the people will tell us ‘Give us this facility which the private hospitals have’” . Referring to his own experience of failing to popularize the e-Health concept about five years ago beginning from his electorate of Badulla the Minister said that the pilot project which commenced on Monday from the Marawila Base hospital and the Dankotuwa District hospital had better chances of being successfully replicated island-wide because it had originated well, with the support of Doctors like Keith Chapman and his guru and president of the Sri Lanka association of surgeons Dr. Narendra Pinto.”
