The new hospital building of Nedunkerny was opened last week as new hope is rising in the Northern Province under the Uthuru Vasanthaya (Northern Spring) project.

Northern Provincial Council Governor Major General G.A. Chandrasiri said the Nedunkerny base hospital was damaged due to LTTE attack.

The Government has rebuilt the hospital building under the Uthuru Vasanthaya program.

"The hospital was provided with basic facilities.

"Three doctors taking in charge will be in duty round the clock.

Around 100 beds were furnished for the patients," he told the Daily News.

The Northern Provincial Council also planned to upgrade and renovate the hospital buildings damaged during the war in the Northern Province while providing basic facilities.
