Library facilities for doctors serving IDPs

Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry has made arrangements to provide library facilities to doctors who are now serving the IDPs. The Ministry took this decision after considering their educational requirements, Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry spokesman said.

He said there are around 85 doctors attending on IDPs and most of them are getting ready to sit for their post graduate examinations. Therefore they need to visit Colombo to use libraries. It is very difficult for them to travel to Colombo on a regular basis and there are no library facilities close to their present locations.

Therefore the Ministry has made arrangements to provide them with library facilities enabling them to carry out their studies while serving in welfare villages.

Sri Lanka Medical Association (SLMA) donated a large number of expensive and important books to the Ministry to set up a library for doctors serving in welfare villages.
