Chairman of the Government Radiology Technologists Association Chanaka Dharmawickrama said operations were hampered at the Kiribathgoda Base Hospital, Minuwangoda Base Hospital, Eheliyagoda Base Hospital, Borella Ayurveda Teaching Hospital and two other hospitals.

The X-ray Examination Unit at the Accident Ward of the National Hospital in Colombo has been non-operational for three weeks.

PET scan tests at the National Hospital, which were also previously halted due to staff shortages, have now resumed. In this case, staff from another unit were reassigned to perform PET scans.
