It is reported that no formal investigation has been launched so far into the deletion of the database containing information on all drugs regulated by the National Drug Regulatory Authority.
A few days ago, the eNMRA database was deleted by the private company that operated it. Eitic Lanka Technologies was assigned the task of managing the data of the Drug Regulatory Authority in 2018 as a representative of the Information and Communication Technology Institute of Sri Lanka. The relevant agreement has been signed to be effective from 2018 to 2023.
However, in the context of a catastrophic epidemic in the country, it remains a mystery why data on essential drugs has been deleted, and investigations into it have not been properly initiated.
