A state-of-the-art Rs. 1 billion ward complex was officially opened at the Darga Town Base Hospital, marking a significant milestone in improving healthcare facilities for residents of the Kalutara District and surrounding areas.
The new ward complex is designed to expand patient care capacity and provide modern facilities to meet the growing healthcare demands of the region. Equipped with advanced medical infrastructure, the building will enhance treatment services, reduce overcrowding, and improve the overall patient experience.
Health officials noted that the new facility will cater to in-patient and specialized care services, enabling the hospital to handle a higher number of admissions while maintaining quality care standards. The investment is also expected to ease the burden on larger hospitals in the Western Province by providing comprehensive treatment options locally.
The Ministry of Health emphasized that this initiative reflects the government’s continued commitment to strengthening the national healthcare system, ensuring equitable access to modern healthcare across urban and rural communities.
Local community leaders welcomed the project, highlighting that the upgraded facilities would provide timely and efficient healthcare to thousands of families in Darga Town and neighboring areas.
The Rs. 1 billion ward complex is expected to play a transformative role in regional healthcare delivery, supporting Sri Lanka’s long-term goal of enhancing hospital infrastructure and accessibility.
