Negombo’s healthcare infrastructure is set for a major upgrade as St. Joseph Hospital officially commenced construction on a state-of-the-art Operating Theatre Complex. This expansion, managed by the Kids & Teens Paediatric Medical Group (USA), integrates international clinical standards into Sri Lanka's private healthcare sector. • Core Infrastructure: The project features 3 international-standard operating theatres, advanced infection control systems, and modern surgical technology. • Specialized Care: Includes dedicated Neonatal and Adult ICUs, specialized obstetric delivery rooms, and 45 new patient rooms (including premium suites) to enhance patient experience and dignity. • Economic Impact: The development stimulates the construction and engineering sectors while creating long-term employment for surgeons, nurses, and technicians. • National Resilience: By strengthening regional surgical capabilities, the project aims to reduce the need for overseas medical travel, retaining healthcare revenue within the Sri Lankan economy. • Global Collaboration: The partnership with a US-based medical group ensures the transfer of global governance standards and best practices to the local community.
