Sri Lanka is preparing to begin four major hospital-development projects with a combined reported investment of Rs.7.148 billion, including new cardiac complexes in Anuradhapura and Trincomalee.
Foundation-stone ceremonies are scheduled for September 16.
The projects include:
- a Rs.3.545 billion cardiac complex at Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital;

The Anuradhapura and Trincomalee developments are supported through Japanese assistance/JICA-related support, while the Mannar and Mullaitivu developments use Indian assistance, according to the Government information underlying the programme.
