The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa
Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa stated that developing Kandy National Hospital as Sri Lanka’s second national hospital is of national importance, not only a local concern.

Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, developing the Kandy National Hospital as the country’s second national hospital is important to the entire country, not only to Kandy. While we focus on hospital development, we are also mindful that families have lived there for generations. We are intervening with both the people’s livelihoods and the hospital’s national importance in mind. This has been addressed at the Kandy District Coordinating Committee and through the Kandy urban development plan, seeking a balanced outcome.
