Medical Ward Complex at Mullaitivu Hospital to be initiated with Indian ...
Steps to implement the recently signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on ‘Construction of four-storied Medical Ward Complex at District General Hospital, Mullaitivu’, with grant assistance of SLR 600 million from Government of India have been initiated. The MoU was signed and exchanged by the High Commissioner of India to Sri Lanka – Santosh Jha, and Acting Secretary, Ministry of Health and Mass Media – Dr. W.K. Wickremasinghe, coinciding with the visit of the Vice President of India – Shri. C.P. Radhakrishnan, to Sri Lanka from 19-20 April 2026. The project envisages civil construction of a four-storied Medical Ward Complex at District General Hospital (DGH), Mullaitivu, equipped with modern amenities and essential infrastructure including installation of life, air conditioning system, fire generator and UPS system, fire protection and piped medical gas supply system. The proposed medical ward complex aims to combat premature mortality due to Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD) by significantly increasing the screening rate of people over 35 years of age and reduce the referrals to other hospitals considerably. Upon completion, the bed occupancy rate at the hospital is estimated to increase by more than 150%, significantly enhancing healthcare delivery in the district. This project is being implemented under the bilateral High Impact Community Development Project framework, under which 18 people-centric grant projects are currently being implemented across 25 districts of Sri Lanka. These initiatives are creating a tangible difference in the daily lives of people across diverse sectors such as housing, health, education, fisheries, transport, renewable energy, livelihood sustenance, agriculture, among many others.

Home / Projects / Marjorie Tripp Ward / [Tuesday, 12 May, 2026] [06:36:28 PM] [Status: Completed 2024] [Client: Department for Infrastructure and Transport, Southern Adelaide Local Health Network (SALHN)] [Size: 1,100m2] Projects → Bedford Park, South Australia New PerspectivesThe Marjorie Tripp Ward at Flinders Medical Centre (FMC) is a refurbishment of an existing administration area to create a specialised ward for the Older Persons Assessment and Liaison (OPAL) Unit and Residential Care Outreach Team (RCOT). The clinical intent was to co-locate these two services that are currently dispersed across the facility.Studio STH collaborated with ARM Architecture to deliver this project. The design team skillfully navigated through the existing building fabric, structural limitations, and overcame services constraints to create a new purpose built 20 bed facility comprising of: Eight single bedrooms (including provision for bariatric patients) Five shared bedrooms Diversional therapy space Patient lounge The calming colour palette and graphics have been carefully considered for the patient cohort who may be experiencing increasing or worsening cognitive impairment and behaviours of concern.The Ward is designed to accommodate patients aged 65 and older. Patient lifting tracks have been incorporated into the design to the extent possible.Dementia Friendly Principles have been incorporated to promote independence and create spaces that are warm, inviting and safe. Some of these initiatives include: Tonal contrast between fittings Optimisation of helpful stimulation Inclusion of walking and destination pathways for patient activity Support spaces are distributed centrally to improve efficiency and access. Staff areas are maximised to incorporate multi-disciplinary care teams.The design enhances biophilia and connection to nature optimising the extent of glazing and views within the constraints of the existing footprint.The ward is named in the honour of equal rights activist and distinguished servicewoman Marjorie Tripp AO.
