The newly-refurbished Fraser Memorial Hospital, located in the heart of Colombo 5, provides optimal care to mothers and newborns alike, in a comfortable, pleasant and nurturing environment. Just like home.

Joseph Fraser Memorial Hospital recently completed the renovation of its building including upgrades to its existing emergency and labour rooms with the latest technologies. These far-reaching improvements have resulted in a thoroughly modern, fully equipped maternity ward offering the perfect setting for childbirth, paediatric and gynaecological care.

The Fraser Memorial Hospital, which lies amidst the most breathtaking environment, radiates an old world ambiance that soothes the senses and dispels the unease one feels in a hospital. This beautiful property truly combines its uniquely charming atmosphere with the latest technology.

The Maternity Ward’s vastly enhanced capabilities will result in a considerable rise in the number of deliveries at the facility and provide excellent maternity services.

The Fraser is now a modern well-equipped hospital with two new operating theatres including laparoscopic surgery, a high dependency unit, three private labour suites, 4D scan, laboratory, paediatric natal unit, x-ray and CTG monitoring.

The Fraser is clearly focused on obstetrics, gynaecology and primary and secondary paediatric care. The nursing and support staff are purpose trained, with years of hands on experience exclusively in these specialties, elevating their professional competencies to the highest level. The Fraser currently has 19 rooms that include three different types; deluxe, luxury and suite. The six new luxury rooms and a luxury suite are all equipped with luxury beds, cable TV, fridge and phone. The suite and super luxury room have private rear verandahs opening out to individual rear gardens. The Fraser also offers a wide choice of room rates and whatever category one chooses, the level of service and patient care are the same. No typical hospital food here. The menu is quite varied offering patients a nice choice of food all served up in true civilised style.

There are many well-known gynaecologists and obstetricians as well as paediatricians who visit this picturesque, unique and one-of-a-kind small hospital.
