The Sri Lanka-Maldives Business Council (SLMLBC), operating under the aegis of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, recently handed over a selection of essential medical equipment to the Divisional Hospital, Anavilundawa, as part of its ongoing corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

This contribution is intended to enhance the hospital’s capacity and support healthcare professionals in delivering timely, effective and quality medical care to the surrounding community.

SLMLBC extends its sincere appreciation to Dr. W. G. Kalani Sajeewa Welipitiya, Medical Officer-in-Charge of the Divisional Hospital, Anavilundawa and the hospital staff for their cooperation, as well as to the provincial and regional health authorities for their invaluable support in facilitating this initiative.

Commenting on the initiative, SLMLBC President Sanjeewa Perera stated, “While the core mandate of the SLMLBC is to promote trade, investment and economic collaboration between Sri Lanka and the Maldives, we strongly believe in giving back to society. Supporting grassroots-level initiatives, particularly in critical sectors such as healthcare, reflects our commitment to creating sustainable and meaningful impact within the communities we serve.”

The SLMLBC remains committed to complementing its economic objectives with socially responsible initiatives that contribute to national development and community well-being.
