Dude this case sets the precedence for future such complaints, that is what I have told

Nope it does not. No accusations are leveled against Dr. Maheshi for prescribing branded rather than generic drugs.

If the charges against Dr. Maheshi Surasinghe Wijeratne at Sri Jayewardenepura General Hospital are proven true, several laws in Sri Lanka could have been violated based on the allegations of corruption, bribery, manipulation of procurement processes, performing unnecessary surgeries, and involvement in a medical cover-up. Below is an analysis of the potential legal violations under Sri Lankan law:

1. Bribery and Corruption (Bribery Act No. 11 of 1954, as amended, and Anti-Corruption Act No. 9 of 2023):
   • Offense: Dr. Wijeratne and her associates are accused of selling essential neurosurgical equipment (EVDs and VP shunts) at inflated prices through third parties, generating fraudulent earnings exceeding Rs. 30 million. This involves soliciting or accepting undue financial benefits from patients or their families.
   • Legal Violation: Under the Bribery Act, soliciting or accepting bribes by a public servant (Dr. Wijeratne, as a consultant neurosurgeon in a state hospital, qualifies as a public servant) constitutes an offense under Section 19, which prohibits public servants from accepting gratifications for performing official duties. Additionally, the Anti-Corruption Act No. 9 of 2023 strengthens penalties for corruption, with Section 40 addressing soliciting or accepting undue advantages for personal gain. Penalties include imprisonment for up to 7 years and/or fines.
   • Application: Directing patients to purchase medical equipment at exorbitant prices from specific suppliers linked to her, bypassing hospital procurement, suggests corrupt practices for personal enrichment.
2. Abuse of Public Office (Offences Against Public Property Act No. 12 of 1982):
   • Offense: Manipulating the hospital’s procurement processes by excluding essential equipment from the annual procurement list and directing patients to external suppliers for profit.
   • Legal Violation: This could violate provisions under the Offences Against Public Property Act, which criminalizes misuse of public resources or authority for personal gain. Additionally, the Penal Code (Section 388) addresses cheating by public servants, which could apply to exploiting hospital resources or patients for financial benefit. Penalties include imprisonment for up to 7 years.
   • Application: By bypassing official procurement channels, Dr. Wijeratne allegedly misused her authority, causing financial loss to the hospital and patients.
3. Criminal Breach of Trust (Penal Code, Chapter 19):
   • Offense: Profiting from the sale of medical equipment meant for hospital use or patient care at inflated prices.
   • Legal Violation: Under Section 405 of the Penal Code, criminal breach of trust occurs when a person entrusted with property (e.g., hospital resources or patient welfare) dishonestly misappropriates or converts it for their own use. As a public servant, Dr. Wijeratne’s actions could attract enhanced penalties under Section 409, with imprisonment up to 7 years and fines.
   • Application: Selling hospital equipment through intermediaries at inflated prices constitutes misappropriation of resources entrusted to her as a medical professional.
4. Cheating and Dishonest Inducement (Penal Code):
   • Offense: Charging patients Rs. 120,000 to 250,000 for equipment worth Rs. 17,500 to 60,000, and performing unnecessary surgeries to extract fees.
   • Legal Violation: Section 403 of the Penal Code defines cheating as fraudulently or dishonestly inducing a person to deliver property or money. This carries a penalty of up to 7 years imprisonment. Section 415 further specifies dishonest inducement causing wrongful loss to victims. These provisions apply to deceiving patients into paying inflated prices or undergoing unnecessary procedures.
   • Application: The alleged overpricing of medical equipment and performing surgeries on brain-dead patients or those treatable with medication indicate fraudulent inducement for financial gain.
5. Causing Harm Through Medical Negligence or Malpractice (Penal Code and Common Law):
   • Offense: Performing unnecessary surgeries, including on patients declared brain-dead, to extract fees from families.
   • Legal Violation: Under Section 297 of the Penal Code, causing hurt or grievous hurt through rash or negligent acts endangering human safety can lead to imprisonment for up to 7 years (if grievous hurt is caused). Additionally, medical malpractice under common law principles could apply, where a doctor breaches their duty of care to patients by performing unnecessary or harmful procedures. Civil liability for medical negligence could also arise under tort law.
   • Application: Conducting surgeries on brain-dead patients or those not requiring surgical intervention violates medical ethics and legal standards of care, potentially causing harm or death.
6. Fraudulent Medical Reporting (Penal Code and Perjury):
   • Offense: Providing a false medical report in the case of former MP Duminda Silva, claiming “penetrative brain trauma” without supporting forensic evidence, allegedly to aid his legal defense.
   • Legal Violation: Section 191 of the Penal Code addresses giving false evidence (perjury), with penalties of up to 7 years imprisonment. Fabricating a medical report to mislead judicial proceedings could also violate Section 199 (using false evidence to procure a judicial outcome). Additionally, Section 438 (forgery for the purpose of cheating) could apply if the report was falsified for fraudulent purposes.
   • Application: Issuing a misleading medical report to influence a legal case constitutes a serious offense, undermining judicial integrity.
7. Violation of Medical Ethics and Regulations (Sri Lanka Medical Council Regulations):
   • Offense: Engaging in corrupt practices, performing unnecessary surgeries, and manipulating procurement processes violate professional medical ethics.
   • Legal Violation: The Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) regulates medical practitioners under the Medical Ordinance (Chapter 105). Breaches of ethical conduct, such as exploiting patients or engaging in financial misconduct, could lead to disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of medical licenses, in addition to criminal liability.
   • Application: Dr. Wijeratne’s alleged actions contravene SLMC’s ethical guidelines, particularly regarding patient welfare and professional integrity.

Don't think it is about Maheshi, the problem is they haven't properly defined this matter. If a doctor asks a patient to get some medicine from outside and then the patient goes and complains about this will they arrest the doctor? Our fuckers are expecting everything to come for free from the hospita.

You can argue that they can just write the proper name and not the brand name, then what will happen if a pharmacy issues a sub standard brand and then the doc gets dragged in to it again?

This statement is slightly wrong buddy.

Doctor's responsibility is providing the prescription, and treating the patient with the relevant medicine and procedures. It is not Doc's responsibility to check the standard / quality of the medicine in the market (obviously they have to check the expiry date, whether any defects etc as a general thing before use them with a patient) . They can give their inputs to NMRA and other relevant authorities about the defects / concerns. But, NMRA is established and bound by law to take care of the quality of medicine, standards, licenses , taking legal actions against the relevant parties etc .NMRA has to make sure the medicines in the market are up to the expected quality / at least to the bare minimum expectations.
