The country’s second largest hospital complex with most modern and sophisticated therapeutic equipment at the Army’s prime medical institute, Narahenpita Military Hospital, is to be vested in Army personnel on the forthcoming Army Day (October 10), broadening the hospital’s horizons further.
Equipped with MRI scanners, a roof-top chopper pad, automatic x-ray screening machinery and a host of state-of-the-art technicalities of the best quality, this 10-storied complex could accommodate as many as 1029 resident patients and is to extend its services shortly even to family members of ex-servicemen while simultaneously opening its doors to medical requirements of all the tri-servicemen.
Keen on inspecting the worksite, Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya, Commander of the Army, on whose initiatives the project was inaugurated with the blessings of the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development, toured the length and breadth of the new construction Monday (6) morning to have a close look at its final phases before its expected opening in October. Accompanied by several senior officers, the Commander visited each and every section in order to get a comprehensive picture of the work, now receiving finishing touches and received an update from medical, technical and planning authorities on hand.
Lieutenant General Jagath Jayasuriya maintained that the new complex would be geared to provide families of ex-servicemen too with necessary medical care, a facility that they do not enjoy at the moment. Similarly, the Commander discussed possibilities of making those new technical facilities available to the sick in all other sister services in the future as many do not have access to such requirements.
The new hospital complex with its diagnostic facilities in radiology as well as in pathology complements more space and better health care since the Narahenpita Military Hospital remains as the central wing to island-wide all peripheral Army medical units.
Engineers and technicians of the Engineer Services Regiment (ESR), responsible for the overall construction of the colossal complex, briefed the visiting Commander on the final touches of the project and highly advanced technical aspects, associated with its day to - day operations.
