With a high number of tubectomies conducted every year and in a camp-
based approach, tubectomy-related deaths as a result of poor quality of care will be
inevitable even when they are done in health-care facilities. Unfortunately, the
camp-based approach is set to continue. The pressure to meet targets, the
incentives given to motivators and doctors and the permanent nature of sterilization
would mean that the question of counselling men and women of the different

election two years ahead of the scheduled January 2016 end to his second term in

who had made the 2009 military victory over the LTTE the main theme of his
government, believed that Sinhalese voters would once again repose their faith in
him. Indeed, so entrenched had he become that few imagined he would lose, and
that too to a relative unknown like Maithripala Sirisena, who was the Health

and East, alienated as they were by the Rajapaksa government’s abject failure to
face up to the challenges of post-war ethnic reconciliation, were always going to
vote against him. The foot-dragging on investigations into alleged war crimes, the
militarisation of the Tamil-dominated North, the hardships that this posed for the
people, And the huge political failure on devolution of powers all ensured that the
Tamil vote would go against him. Another significant.2005
