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.
