Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 First supplementary: Baddegama Hospital is the nearest to the Expressway exit and is crucial for accidents. It lacks a ramp between its two-storey blocks; patient transfer down stairs risks fatalities. Road widening will also impact the hospital frontage; drainage and sanitation issues persist. It serves many people. Can you ensure prompt intervention and inclusion in the 2026 Budget?
