Parents seek financial assistance for only child in need of urgent bone marrow transplant

A family in Anuradhapura is seeking urgent financial assistance for a bone marrow transplant to save the life of their only child, who requires lifelong, regular blood transfusions to counter the declining levels of haemoglobin. Residing in Meegassa Gama, Shashika Umayanga, 13, has been undergoing blood transfusions every month since he was six months old. Although the monthly blood transfusions at the Kurunagala hospital are free of charge, related expenses for the procedure amount to about Rs 20,000. “My son has to undergo a bone marrow transplant before he is 14 (next year), according to doctors. My husband makes name boards for shops, and I am a homemaker. We don’t have a regular income, and, therefore, it is impossible for us to raise funds for this surgery which needs to be done at a private hospital as it is not available at government hospitals,” the mother of the child, Sagarika Udayangani said.

Sustainable solution to decline in tea production

Sustainable solution to decline in tea production, export revenue and livelihood issues, in The Island of 17 May, concludes that there has been a gradual decline in tea productivity measured in terms of the yield per hectare in Sri Lankan tea estates, partly due to continuous application of chemical fertilizer. It is correct that there is a gradual decline in the productivity of tea lands during the last few years. But, Mr. JM assumes that the decline in tea production is due to continuous application of chemical fertilizer. This assumption cannot be correct, as the Tea Research Institute (TRI) by the advisory circular SP 10 issued in August 2016, recommends application of mixed fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium as urea, Eppawala Rock Phosphate and muriate of potash respectively, for mature tea fields in 2 to 5 splits per annum.
