Pears from Unilever recently handed over the renovated and furbished paediatric wards of the Jaffna Teaching Hospital to the authorities.
The re-development was done at cost of Rs 7 million. Unilever Brand Manager (Pears) Ms Nadee Wickramasinghe, said "The paediatric wards of the hospital were initially renovated under (our) 'Safe Hands' programme in 2003, but the infrastructure deteriorated very badly as a result of the conflict situation that arose later. When we visited the hospital post- war, we discovered that the place needed lot more attention than in the past.”
