UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said he would launch a helicopter service with an operating theatre to transport patients to hospitals swiftly whenever there is traffic congestion on the roads, under a future UNP Government.
To supplement the current Suwa Seriya ambulance service, he would also commission a ‘motor-cycle medical’ service.
“We will also grant a monthly allowance of Rs.10,000 for over one million local and foreign employees who have lost their jobs due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and restore all allowances of public servants in addition to a Rs. 10,000 allowance for families affected by the lockdown”, the UNP leader said.
