On the initiative of the Kandy National Hospital Director, Dr. Iresha Fernando, two high-tech digital patient treatment machines, worth Rs. 600 million, were installed at the hospital, on the 23rd, thereby addressing a major deficiency there. These units include the ESWL (Urology Unit) and DSA (Interventional Radiology).

The ESWL machine, valued at Rs. 200 million, allows for the easy removal of kidney and bladder stones, using state-of-the-art technology. Specialist doctors of the unit noted that from the large number of patients registered for these treatments, suitable candidates can now undergo treatment for kidney and bladder-related conditions without the need for surgery.
Additionally, a new machine worth Rs. 400 million, equipped with modern digital technology, was installed to replace the DSA machine which had been inactive for over three years. It was noted that this machine can instantly identify and treat disorders ranging from the brain to the veins, and can also successfully perform advanced technological treatments for cancer-related conditions.
Expressing her views, the Director of the Kandy National Hospital, Dr. Iresha Fernando, stated that she extends her gratitude to the government for providing these medical devices, which had been a significant requirement for the hospital. A group including Specialist Doctors Manjula Herath, Sohan Perera, and Sujith Rupasinghe, who are in charge of the respective treatment departments, also participated in the event.
