Cardiac Unit gets new lease of life The idling Cardiac Complex of the Kandy General and Teaching Hospital received a new lease of life when Health Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva formally gifted the 'Angiogram' unit to the hospital. This piece of vital equipment cost the government some Rs. 70 million and another Rs. 300 million is to be spent in obtaining equipment to commence surgery. The Government, it is learnt, is to call for tenders for the purchase of these equipment since the existing ones cannot be used, having been idle for many years. Minister de Silva inspected the equipment and the operating theatres accompanied by Central Province Governor Tikiri Kobbekaduwa and Hospital Director Dr. Sam Samarasinghe. The Minister also laid a foundation stone and unveiled a plaque for a three storey complex for eight operating theatres, which is to be built at a cost of Rs. 200 million. The third floor would be directly attached to the Cancer Wards of the Hospital as the Ward is fast becoming the most sought after in the region. |
