Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen, who was falsely accused by some politicians and the media, resumed work at the Kurunegala Teaching Hospital.

Dr. Shafi has been reinstated at the Kurunegala Teaching Hospital as the Senior House Officer in Gynecology and Obstetrics.

The Health Services Committee of the Public Services Commission had recently ordered the Health Ministry to reassign Dr. Shafi Shihabdeen to the Kurunegala Teaching Hospital.
