Melsta Hospitals Ragama declares open Gastrointestinal Centre

In view of providing the best quality and advanced medical services to the people with increased accessibility and affordability, Melsta Hospitals Ragama recently declared open its Gastrointestinal Centre, one of the very few state-of-the-art and purpose-built centres dedicated to treat intestinal and related diseases in the private healthcare sector of Sri Lanka.

Part of Melsta Health which is a fully owned subsidiary of diversified conglomerate Melstacorp PLC, Melsta Hospitals Ragama now offers a comprehensive range of gastrointestinal investigations by some of the top leading consultants in the country, assisted by well trained nurses and technicians.

The Gastrointestinal Centre is equipped with some of the latest equipment and technology, primarily designed to ease patient movement whilst ensuring that all patients receive a well satisfied experience and outcome atvery affordable rates. A significant number of people live with digestive symptoms such as frequent diarrhea, gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and bleeding while passing motion to name a few, and unfortunately many often fail to realize that these could lead to more serious conditions. 

The timely initiative to build such a facility comes after Melsta Hospitals identified that there is an increased gap and requirement for gastrointestinal procedures in Sri Lanka and especially the need for everyone having to travel to Colombo to receive such treatments. Now, people in and around Gampaha and Colombo can have access. 
“The aim of Melsta Hospitals is to work closely with the consultants at Colombo North Teaching Hospital to offer comprehensive medical care at affordable prices where everyone can have access to. The commencement of kidney transplant surgeries, total range of urology procedures and now the Gastroenterology department are a few milestones the hospital is able to establish in such a short time. “Melsta Hospitals is growing stronger with every aspect focused on affordability and quality, with plans underway to begin cardiology, cardiac surgery, and neurosurgery along with international accreditationin the near future,” said Dr. K. ThiyagarajahIraivan, Executive Director/CEO- Melsta Hospitals.
