Health Information in SriLanka
-
SriLanka, a resplendent island just south of India ,surrounded by the Indian ocean ,is a country of marvels. The exegesis of the historians claims that more than 2000 years ago, the islanders, farmers largely ,were self reliant. Owing to it's strategic location in the Indian ocean ,and the abundance of natural resources and beauty ,this land became the cynosure of the power hungry and the greedy. This paved way for calamitous political and economic predicaments , leaving it a developing country today.
Surprisingly the poor health conditions that one would expect ,in a country such as Sri lanka do not exist .On the contrary it has brandished astoundingly excellent health indices over the last few decades.
The stark contrast it makes with the Asian countries, its fellow south Asian countries, in particular is breath taking. The maternal and infant mortality rates, the life expectancy, the state of prevention of communicable diseases ,exibit values which make it standout. These are almost on par with Western Europe's.
There health services ramify and reach the most rural areas. The main cities are blessed with the services of well equipped large hospitals with commendable bed strength. The National hospital of sri lanka located in its capital is the hospital with the largest number of beds in the world. Well trained, highly skilled health professionals, the products of free education ,are deployed to all corners of the island ,provide round the clock free health services to all. -
