COLOMBO, FEB. 3. As part of continued Indian assistance to tsunami-affected Sri Lanka, the High Commissioner, Nirupama Rao, today handed over a consignment of homeopathic medicines to the Sri Lankan Minister for Indigenous Medicine, Tissa Kariyalada. The 825-kg consignment was supplied by the Indian Ministry of Health following a request from Sri Lanka for use in the eastern parts. Mr. Kariyalada thanked India for the consignment - the first in the area of indigenous medicine - and requested Indian assistance for development of alternative systems of medicine in Sri Lanka, including training of students in Indian homeopathic colleges. Mrs. Rao gave an assurance that India would work with Sri Lanka "to develop a framework for co-operation in the area of indigenous medicine," including education, research, drug development, healthcare, conservation of medicinal plants, re-orientation and training of medical and paramedical staff.
