Ceylinco Life donates medical gas system to teaching hospital Kalutara ...
Directors and senior management of Ceylinco Life with the Medical Director and representatives of the hospital Share Tweet In a continued effort to strengthen Sri Lanka’s public healthcare system, Ceylinco Life has donated a Centralised Medical Gas Pipeline System (MGPS) to Teaching Hospital Kalutara at a cost of Rs. 19 million. The project, fully funded under the insurer’s CSR programme, included repairing the hospital’s long-idle Oxygen Concentrator and integrating it with a new piped gas network. The MGPS now provides reliable oxygen, medical air, surgical air, and nitrous oxide to 60 inpatient beds and two operating theatres, supporting approximately 40 surgical procedures daily. A key feature is the automatic changeover panel, ensuring uninterrupted oxygen supply.

April 2026 marked the first month since April 2023 that services sector new business contracted. Not a slowdown. Not a plateau. An outright decline. Nor was it narrow in scope. The deterioration cut across transportation of goods, insurance, wholesale and retail trade, and accommodation, food and beverage service activities. The Island Financial Review asked an independent analyst for his take. Here is what he said. “These are not fringe sub-sectors; they are the arteries of Sri Lanka’s domestic economy. Why does this matter beyond the seasonal logic? Because new business is...
