Melsta Hospitals Ragama has announced yet another significant enhancement to its facilities with the addition of extra luxury rooms/suites to their capacity.
The newly added luxury section adheres to international standards, delivering sophistication and comfort comparable to the best private hospitals in Colombo, all while maintaining a more accessible and affordable cost, up to 30% to 50% less than comparable services in Colombo.
As the premier private hospital in the bustling Gampaha area, Melsta Hospital Ragama completed this expansion initiative as a proactive step in addressing a longstanding demand within the community, easily accessible and affordable premium healthcare.
Melsta Hospital Ragama is a fully-owned subsidiary of Melsta Health, part of Sri Lanka’s top business conglomerate, Melstacorp, headed by Sri Lanka’s renowned business leader Deshamanya Harry Jayawardena. The hospital, formerly known as Browns Hospital Ragama, was fully acquired by Melsta Health in 2020 and rebranded as Melsta Hospital Ragama.
Melsta Hospitals Ragama Executive Director Dr. K. Thiyagarajah Iraivan said: “Melsta Hospital is driven by the vision to offer world-class healthcare services at an affordable cost to all Sri Lankans. In line with this vision, Melsta Hospitals has committed over $ 1.5 million in investments to enhance the medical infrastructure at Melsta Hospital Ragama following the takeover from Browns Group. The launch of new luxury suites stands as the latest milestone in this continuous upgrading effort. We are pleased to announce to our valued clients in the vicinity that numerous upgrading initiatives are underway to offer you the best healthcare at the most affordable cost.”
Melsta Hospital Ragama General Manager Roshitta Nirooshan said: “In a brief period, Melsta Hospital Ragama has evolved into a household brand in the Gampaha region. We have notably raised service standards, providing top-notch healthcare supported by advanced technologies and administered by skilled professionals, all at affordable rates. Our new luxury facilities encapsulate this commitment, comparable to the finest, yet at a cost 30% to 50% lower.”
