Cancer hospitals and  kidney disease treatment units were also still operating.   The GMOA had requested for a meeting with the President today to  discuss their grievances, saying that they are not satisfied by the  manner in which Health Minister Rajitha Senaratne has handled the  issue. - Ada Derana -</blockquote>
