However, we are in possession of written documents to prove that the drug in question has been imported to Sri Lanka through the Indian firm, Reliance Life Private Limited. Furthermore, in a letter sent to the Sri Lankan agent of this firm, by the NMRA, to obtain advice, to Paediatrician Sounds submit reasons why the import of the said drug should not be suspended within a 28-day period, further proves this. The NMRA had said, in its letter to the agent that during the 4th Generation HIV Antigen and Antibody ELISA Assay tests, the drug had reacted positively to HIV. This is further proved by the letters sent by the Health Services Supply Warning on Zika Virus Director, to Hospital Directors and health authorities on 30 April 2021, on the suspension of a few medicinal drugs from being distributed till the receiving of decision from specialist doctors.
