(From Daily Mirror)
By Indika Sri Aravinda
Five doctors attached to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital have been diagnosed with the A-H1N1 virus, hospital sources told Daily Mirror online.
Meanwhile doctors attached to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the hospital have warned that they will be compelled to stop work if protective masks are not provided to them owing to the flu outbreak.
The ICU doctors claimed that there was a shortage of protective masks for their use and as a result they were in danger of contracting the A-H1N1 virus. They added that the hospital did not have a separate ward like other hospitals for the patients with the A-H1N1 virus and because of this other patients were also in danger of being infected.

We think there is a necessity of a timely action from the side of our profession.
