SLPP completes 5,000 beds in 4 days

10 May 2021

By Dinitha Rathnayake   The initiative of the ruling Government Party the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP), to build 10,000 hospital beds within 10 days, has reached its halfway mark ahead of schedule, with 5,000 beds being completed in less than four days. Speaking to The Morning, SLPP Kalutara District Parliamentarian Sanjeeva Edirimanna said that the project was started on 8 May. “In less than four days, we have completed 5,000 beds with the support of youths. These beds are not, however, made for intensive care units (ICUs). ICU beds are specially made for a patient’s extra comfort and ease of transfer during emergency. Under this new project, we only make normal beds.” These beds would be distributed to District General Hospitals including in Ampara, Matara, and Nagoda – Kalutara, Base Hospitals in Pimbura, Wathupitiwala, Kahawatta, Minuwangoda, Dambadeniya, Panadura, the Colombo East Base Hospital (CEBH) in Mulleriyawa and Mirigama, and Divisional Hospitals in Kosgama and Nawagamuwa. “Our first plan was to distribute these beds to intermediary treatment centres which are located close to hospitals and public places”. According to Edirimanna, the SLPP also plans to build ephemeral wards inside the hospital locations so that the patients who are not under critical condition with Covid-19 can be treated. The 10,000 beds project would be completed by 17 May. Youths from the National Apprentice and Industrial Training Authority (NAITA) too have joined hands in this initiative.
