There are hospitals in this country who does normal deliveries like 20-15 over in a span of 3 or 4 hours, with one HO and two or three midwives. Stupid news

Is this is a world record or Sri-Lankan record?

Gothayaa Saturday, 21 February 2015 05:51 AM

We have too high of a population in this small country. We need to keep the population stable at about 18 million. One child policy should be brought in for a decade or so.

Could you kindly suggest few?

Pitta Saturday, 21 February 2015 09:27 AM

Thank you to all the staff for your hard work! This should be an example to other medical professionals who only think of private practice!

Sri Lankas population increaeses by 600 people per day, that is births minus deaths. So this is no big deal. But in 50 years these will only be standing room in the country

In Bati district population of Kathankudy DS division is 99% Muslim. There are 35.4% under 15 children in Kathankudy but only 23% in Padukka where I live and 27.1% in Bibila. So the population explosion will be in Kathankudy like Muslim villages.

Very good news.The health minister should immedietly look in to the shortcomings of this hospital and give the possible help because it is in a remote area.Well done Doctors,and the staff.

sav Saturday, 21 February 2015 03:15 PM

what a stupid comment... just cos an hospital delivers rather high number of kids how can you judge about population rates etc etc..

Has there been a power-cut 9 months ago in Bibile??? )

Don Don Friday, 20 February 2015 05:38 PM

OMG, where will we go, if there are new babies born like this everyday? We are an Island nation where our land and resources are limited and we are already over populated. We need immediate implementation of strict birth control policy.
