“Prof. Senaka Bibile – The visionary who ensured medicines are a right, not a privilege.”
On the birth anniversary of Professor Senaka Bibile, we respectfully remember a true national hero who transformed the healthcare landscape of Sri Lanka. As the architect of the National Drug Policy and the Founder Chairman of the State Pharmaceuticals Corporation, his vision ensured that quality medicines became accessible and affordable to every citizen.
His principles of equity, transparency, and rational use of medicines continue to guide the mission of SPC and the nation’s health sector.
Today, we honor his legacy with gratitude and renew our commitment to uphold the values he stood for — putting people before profit.
