The 14th Hemodialysis machine donated by Lanka IOC was handed over to Anamaduwa Base Hospital Medical Superintendent Dr. Lasantha Liyanage by Lanka IOC Managing Director Dipak Das recently.
Addressing the gathering at the Base Hospital Anamaduwa, Das expressed, “We deeply value our association with the people in this country and strive to do our best to assist the citizens of Sri Lanka. In this context, our CSR team has been reaching out to different sections of the country, aiming to bring comfort to patients suffering from this disease, particularly prevalent in rural areas.” Medical Superintendent Dr. Lasantha Liyanage said that many kidney patients in the area had to travel to Hospitals in Chilaw or Puttalam for treatment as the dialysis facility was not available at Anamaduwa Hospital. 
He thanked Lanka IOC for donating the first dialysis machine to Anamaduwa Base Hospital, enabling the setup of the dialysis unit.
