The Embassy of Sri Lanka in Washington DC, has managed to secure a confirmed job order for 550 employment opportunities in the United States of America for Sri Lankans.

While issuing a media release, they said the job order was in association with the Sri Lanka Foreign Employment Agency (SLFEA).

With 250 Registered Nurses and 200 Nursing Assistants leaving , besides the exodus of Doctors for economic reasons, our Health Services will be the best in the world. More Cemeteries will have to be opened.
