Erste Bank of Austria has provided euro 9.5 million (approx. Rs.1, 810 million) interest-free credit facility to Sri Lanka to enhance the access to quality and modern healthcare facilities in local hospitals.

“The objectives of the project are to reduce the hospital acquired infections, ensure access to modern healthcare equipment so as to provide immediate care to the patients, whilst reducing the recurrent costs and expenditure to the government,” a Finance and Mass Media Ministry Communiqué said.
