The eye sight of the doctor who cured thousands of patients has been cured and is now normal.
It is through the novel “Wenesa” Programme telecast by the Independent Television Network that the entire country is now aware of this child specialist doctor who is leading a marginalized life in Dehiattakandiya after retirement from service. Joining in this programme she said that she was in desperate need of an eye surgery. Now she has undergone this surgery at the Polonnaruwa Hospital and her eyesight has returned to normal.
Health Services Director General Dr. Palitha Mahipala visited her at the Polonnaruwa Hospital. She expressed her thanks to those who supported her. On hearing from Dr. Mahipala that a new house would be constructed for her in replacement of a deserted storage building at Kapuwatte she said that what she required were not palaces but facilities to teach English free of charge for the poor children in Kapuwatte. This is a fitting example for those who are going in search of money sans considering the dignity of their profession.
