He seeks help

T. K. S. Kumara of 119/8, Siridhamma Mawatha, Colombo 10 is suffering from Ischaemic heart disease and National Hospital Cardiology Institute Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Ruwan Ekanayake has recommended an urgent PTCA to correct double vessel disease in LAD and LCX.

The stents needed for the PTCA would cost about Rs. 355,000. As stents are not available at the National Hospital, the patient has to provide them by buying them from outside. As he is not in a sound economic position to foot this bill, he requests Philanthropists and the generous public to help him financially to enable him to undergo this treatment.

All contributions in this regard should be remitted to Account No. 1-0061-04-69653 at the National Savings Bank, Borella Branch.
