Karapitiya Hospital gets high-tech medical equipment from France


The French company has supplied two sets of high tech medical equipment to the Karapitiya Teaching Hospital in Galle. The opening ceremony of the new operating theatres of the hospital was inaugurated by the Ambassador of France, Christine Robichon at the invitation of the Sri Lankan authorities.


A Twin Modular Operating Theatre and a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory Angiography System from the French company Euroformed have been financed by a soft loan granted by the Government of France, for a total amount of 9.5 million Euros (1.6 billion LKR), to upgrade the medical equipment of public hospitals in several cities of Sri Lanka, mainly Galle, Jaffna, Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, states the French embassy in Colombo.


“The enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of health is one of the fundamental rights of every human being and France is particularly happy to contribute to the improvement of the capacities of the Sri Lankan governmental hospitals to provide the best possible medical care to the people.


“France and French people have a long history of partnership with the district of Galle, to which a lot of support was channelled through French NGO’s after the tsunami,” adds the embassy.

PayPal wants report from Sri Lanka: Sampath, three other banks to introduce service

Though the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) was first to introduce PayPal to Sri Lanka through the Sampath Bank, it is revealed that three other banks too have been now earmarked by the CBSL. A senior official from the CBSL told AdaderanaBiz, “We were to first introduce PayPal through the Sampath Bank. However, we now plan to introduce this service to the country through four banks. We also plan to gradually involve the rest of the banks in the country.” While the CBSL is discussing with the PayPal branch in India to introduce the service to Sri Lanka, PayPal’s Indian arm has reportedly requested a report on Sri Lanka’s exports. The senior CBSL official told AdaderanaBiz that they would be submitting such a report and hence the introduction of PayPal to Sri Lanka would face a slight delay. Though cash cannot be remitted to Sri Lanka through the world renowned PayPal money transfer service sending money from Sri Lanka is possible even now.
