21 Medical Camps from Kundasale Police Hospital for Two Weeks

Police officers and medical officers attached to the Police Hospital in Kundasale, operated by the Sri Lanka Police Police Medical Services Division, conducted 21 medical camps for the public affected by Cyclone “Ditwa” over a period of two weeks.

As a result, 2554 patients were examined and treated, covering 09 police divisions, and the first medical camp was held on 03.12.2025 at the Kandy Headquarters Police, where medical advice and treatment were provided to 678 patients.

During the next 13 days, medical camps were held at Matale, Gampola, Ududumbara, Hasalaka, Yatiyanthota, Galaha, Ragala police stations and the mission was successfully completed with the last camp at Udupussellawa police on 16.12.2025.

The receipt of a large amount of medicines and clothes as donations from the Senior DIG of the Southern Province has also helped in making this task extremely successful.

Furthermore, the Kundasala Police Hospital respectfully recalls the assistance provided by Dr. Gemunu Wijesundara, who was transferred from the Kundasala Police Hospital and attended all the displacement camps.

It is assumed that this may be the largest number of patients examined by a single medical team after the cyclone. We, the police officers whose first duty is the welfare of the public, would like to express our gratitude to the senior officers of the Police Medical Services Division, as well as the medical officers and staff of the Kundasale Police Hospital, who provided invaluable assistance in successfully implementing such a social service.
