He emphasized that, just as a doctor’s license can be revoked by the Sri Lanka Medical Council for refusing to treat a patient, the public should reject politicians who abandoned their duty to rvive the country’s economy in 2022.

The President made these remarks while addressing the Public Service United Nurses’ Association’s “2024 Nursing Conference” held yesterday (17) at the Water’s Edge Hotel in Battaramulla.

During the event, Ven. Dr. Venerable Dr. Muruththettuwe Ananda Nayaka Thero, Chancellor of the University of Colombo, presented a memorandum of proposals from the United Nurses’ Association to the President.

In his speech, President Wickremesinghe reflected on the country’s economic recovery, noting that no one expected the economy, which was in a critical state, to show signs of improvement within two years.
