Wilfred; Consultant Paediatrician Dr. Deepal Perera; and the Chairperson Lion Ladies Committee, Lion Romali Abayasekara.
It was at a simple ceremony that District Governor of Lions Clubs International District 306B1, Lion Camilus Fernando, handed over a multi-monitor costing more than Rs. 1 million to the Apeksha Hospital (Cancer Hospital) at Maharagama on April 3.
The request to help the Apeksha Hospital with this multi-monitor for the Paediatric Unit had come at a time when the Lion Ladies of Lions Clubs International District 306B1 had already decided to support not only this hospital but also the National Hospital of Sri Lanka (NHSL).
As such, in December last year, the Lion Ladies donated a portable ventilator costing nearly Rs. 1.4 million to the Neurosurgical Unit of the NHSL.
To help save numerous lives by the provision not only of the multi-monitor but also the portable ventilator, the Lion Ladies organized the fashion show, ‘Fashion Fusion’ at the JAIC Hilton, Colombo in October last year to raise funds for this worthy cause.
