Medihelp Hospitals Chief Operating Officer Nishantha Jayamannestated,“Athurugiriya is a central town in the Western Province. However,there was a massive void in the region’s healthcare ecosystem, where residents often had to travel to Colombo City to access the most important healthcare services they require. Particularly, inthe current challenging macroeconomic environment, it is vital that patients in Sri Lanka have access to quality healthcare they require conveniently and quickly. This is the vacuum we are looking to fill with our new branch, – offering a gamut of top-notch healthcare services under one roof.”
