Members of Engineer Services of the Army constructed two new temporary wards in Negombo General Hospital for Dengue patients after hospital authorities brought the lack of adequate warding facilities to the notice of President Maithripala Sirisena during his recent visit to the hospital.
According to the government news portal Army Commander General Crisanthe De Silva responding quickly, instructed Corps of Engineer Services, Sri Lanka Army Medical Corps and Directorate of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers of the Army to immediately commence the construction and equip the two new wards with necessary medical equipment as soon as possible.
Sri Lanka Army Medical Corps will provide 25 Army personnel to provide medical assistance while the Directorate of Electrical and Mechanical Engineers will equip both wards with saline stands and other medical accessories as per the requirements of the Negombo Hospital medical authorities, Army media sources said.
