• Says Government to give high priority to indigenous systems

Sri Lanka should always give high priority to the indigenous systems to conquer the international market, Sri Lankan President Maithripala Sirisena said.

“All must unite with a commitment to give a high priority to the indigenous systems to make our country victorious,” said President Sirisena participating in the opening ceremony of the newly built Ayurvedic Herbal Products Manufacturing Centre of the Sri Lanka Ayurvedic Drugs Corporation, Monday (28).

The President further said that we should always admire our heritage and our indigenous systems to conquer the international market to become a one of the greatest countries in the world while pledging to provide every possible facility to promote the Ayurveda treatments in Sri Lanka.

According to the President, when spoken about the country’s proud culture, the traditional medicine method has a significant place.

“Still, there are invaluable hidden abilities in our country due to not giving proper recognition for them during the past era,” the President said.

The President after opening the newly built Ayurvedic Herbal Products Manufacturing Centre made an inspection tour of the new facility.

Minister of Health, Nutrition and Indigenous Medicine Dr. Rajitha Senaratne, Chief Minister of the Western Province Isuru Devapriya, MP Chathura Senaratne and several others participated at this occasion.
