Enough insulin for diabetic children – Health DDG

Health Services Deputy Director General (DDG) Consultant Dr. G. Wijesuriya said yesterday (8) that the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital in Colombo has enough insulin to be given to diabetic children.

He also stated that although there is an opinion being spread these days that there is no insulin in hospitals, the Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital has enough insulin to be able to provide insulin if other children’s hospitals need it. He also said that around 500 children receive insulin from the hospital.

He said that children who come to the clinics to receive insulin from the hospital will be given insulin without any problem and they are informed to visit government hospitals to get the insulin they need without being deceived by the opinion being spread that there is no insulin in hospitals. He also stated that if any other children’s hospital in the country needs insulin, they can get as much insulin as needed from Lady Ridgeway Children’s Hospital Colombo, after informing the hospital.
