New BOI Hospital project opened in Kalutara

Minister of Investment Promotion Navin Dissanaike opened a new hospital project that comes under the BOI’s 300 Enterprise programme on yesterday.

The 300 Enterprise Programme is a scheme under the Government’s Mahinda Chinthana Programme to set up one enterprise in each of the 300 Divisional secretariats outside the relatively developed Colombo and Gampaha Districts.

The purpose of this programme is to bring investment to outlying areas and thus create opportunities for employment, and empowerment for communities that have not benefited in the past. To date, agreements for 251 such projects have been signed.

Dr Deepal Wijesooriya and Ms V.D.S Nadeera Kumari Wijesooriya are the investors. This project is located on 52.4 perches of land in Walawatta, Nagoda, Kalutara.

The agreement for the project was signed on March 2006.

This new modern hospital will consist of an OPD Unit, an operating theatre, labour room, ICU unit, X-ray and ECG facilities, ultrasound scan, ECG and CT scanning unit, laboratory and pharmacy. In addition to this patients will be able to receive outpatients and emergency care facilities.
