The Health Checks
Remanded since February 3, Rambukwella’s health status was cited by the Prison Hospital, preventing his court appearance on February 15. The medical panel, led by the Director General of Health Services, is tasked with evaluating Rambukwella’s actual health conditions, determining if he can attend court, and specifying the ailment hindering his presence. The panel must answer court-raised questions and, if a medical condition is identified, assess whether prison hospital treatment suffices or alternative options are needed. Additionally, the panel will scrutinize prison hospital reports to confirm Rambukwella’s health issues and advise the court accordingly. The move seeks clarity on Rambukwella’s health status amid concerns over the authenticity of presented medical documents.
