In a ceremony held on 22 September, the Embassy of Japan in Sri Lanka handed over an MRI machine to the National Hospital in Sri Lanka (NHSL).

The event was attended by esteemed dignitaries, including Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella, underscoring the deep bonds between our two nations and our collective commitment to bolstering healthcare infrastructure in Sri Lanka.

Japan previously handed over a CT scanner and other medical equipment to NHSL last October. These pieces of equipment play a critical role in advancing diagnostic imaging capabilities in Sri Lanka. With these cutting-edge additions, we anticipate greater precision and timeliness in medical assessments at NHSL.

In celebration of the new donation, the facility that houses the Japan-donated equipment was named ‘The Japan-Sri Lanka Friendship Diagnostic Imaging Centre,’ a powerful testament to the enduring and robust friendship shared between our two nations.

In his address, Ambassador Mizukoshi stated, “The Japan-Sri Lanka Friendship Diagnostic Imaging Centre is an unrivalled symbol of the lasting camaraderie between our countries. We are confident that this centre will play a pivotal role in elevating the quality of healthcare services for the people of Sri Lanka. It is our sincere hope that these state-of-the-art medical facilities will not only save lives but also enhance the overall well-being of the Sri Lankan population.”

This event marks a significant milestone in the enduring partnership between Japan and Sri Lanka, reaffirming Japan’s unwavering commitment to enhancing healthcare services in the country.
