M. M. Anura of 206/2, Malkaduwawa, Kurunegala, an ex-employee of Nestle Lanka PLC who is suffering from colon cancer since the year 2019 urgently in need of help.


Anura has already undergone four surgeries, 25 cycles of Radiotherapy and immense cycles of Chemotherapy that could be administered.


“The follow-up investigations done in February this year revealed that there was a recurrence of the same cancer for the 5th time. Doctors are of the opinion that further surgeries, Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy are not possible and effective again. The only option available is to undergo limited cycles of TomoTherapy (TomoTherapy is a radiation delivery system and a CT scanner that provides 3D images before each treatment. It’s a form of Image Guided Radiation Therapy (IGRT) used to treat various cancers),” says Anura adding that this treatment is only available at the Ceylinco Health Care Centre, Hyde Park Corner at a cost of Rs. 350,000/=.


“With my family challenged with severe mental dissolution due to my medical and financial situation, as a last and final resort I humbly appeal to you to be of assistance in this my financial struggle to get over this medical calamity,” Anura requests for whatever financial support from anyone who could provide so that he could spend the rest of his days in comfort and hope as all his savings have been drained out over the last four years.
Whoever  who wants to help Anura can do so by remitting donations to:

    These hospitals are there to make maximum profits. The government should take responsibility for free healthcare or privatize them. Sri Lanka also has an amazing church in Negombo, the Miracle Dome by Prophet Jerome Fernando. We see on TV many cancer patients and all kinds of diseases are healed through prayer to Jesus Christ in that location. It does not cost any money. Might as well go to God and get healed rather than make these hospitals and businesses richer.

    In Europe EVERYONE gets excellent medical care and education, because that is on what our taxes are spend. No private hospitals or schools. The poor are getting the same treatment and education.
