The Shantha Sevana voluntary organisation is managed by the Sri Lanka Cancer Society and works towards relieving Sri Lanka of the devastating effects of the scourge of cancer. The home aims to provide patients the best care, treatment and relief which are otherwise difficult to obtain and operates solely on the contributions received by donors and sponsors. |
