Indian Medical Team Sets Field Hospital Near Kandy

COLOMBO (News 1st); As Sri Lanka battles the aftermath of Cyclone Ditwah, Operation Sagar Bandhu continues to deliver critical support on the ground.

A fully operational field hospital is being established by the Indian medical team in Mahiyanganaya, near Kandy, bringing advanced trauma care, surgical facilities, ambulances, and essential medical services directly to one of the hardest-hit communities.

This initiative ensures that disaster-affected residents have immediate access to life-saving treatment, bridging the gap for those cut off from hospitals due to floods and landslides.

The field hospital is equipped to handle emergencies, and provide comprehensive care for injuries and illnesses resulting from the disaster.

Officials emphasize that this rapid deployment of medical infrastructure is a vital step toward stabilizing conditions and preventing further loss of life.
