Minister orders to buy entire SPMC production:

Ministry to use more locally produced drugs

The Health Ministry will purchase 2536.7 million tablets in 26 varieties from the State Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Corporation (SPMC) for next year, a Ministry spokesman said.

The spokesman said that Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena had ordered Ministry officials to buy the entire production of the SPMC to use at local medical institutions.

Earlier, a part of the SPMC drug production was exported to some foreign countries.

The ministry will use more locally produced drugs this year, he said.

The Ministry will also buy 227 million capsules in three varieties from the SPMC.

The total number of drug varieties to be purchased from the SPMC is 29. These are essential drugs required for state hospitals and medical institutions. SPMC produces 63 varieties of drugs, he said.

The Ministry recently combined the State Pharmaceutical Corporation and the SPMC.
