Japan helps to upgrade Jaffna hospital

 

Japan has provided 2 billion rupees to improve the central function of the Jaffna Teaching Hospital by extending assistance to improve the health sector in the North.

The funds were provided after Health Minister, Nimal Siripala de Silva requested Japanese aid to re-develop the hospital which is one of the main hospitals providing health care for the Northern people.

The project will be completed before the end of 2010. Under this, the hospital will get a new three-storey administrative building in addition to upgrading the already available facilities in it.

The new administrative block of the hospital will house the central laboratory, pathology, haematology, bio chemistry, micro biology units, patient diagnosis section, four radiology units, a dental clinic, an X-Ray, mammography, endoscopy and CT scanning Units, an ECG and an EEG unit and an ICU with bed strength of twenty.

The development of the hospital will immensely benefit patients in the North.
