For over six decades, CNAPT has worked relentlessly throughout the years to eradicate the dreaded disease of Tuberculosis. Since its inception at a time when tuberculosis was rampant in the country, the work carried out by CNAPT has been able to provide much needed assistance to the people suffering from the disease. Building children’s wards in hospitals, establishing provincial clinics and branches outside of Colombo to reach the general public, establishing rehabilitation centers, conducting home visits and conduction of The National School Health Programme are some of the projects undertaken and completed by the CNAPT in the past decades.

This new vehicle will be a beneficial addition to CNAPT in order to carry out the respective projects more efficiently. Furthermore, the donation of the vehicle is another inclusion to the impressive list of community services carried out by Maliban Biscuit Manufactories Ltd.
