The new ward complex, operation theatre and laboratory at the Rosewood Private Hospital, Mahara was opened by Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa yesterday.
Prime Minister Rajapaksa said that he was happy to learn that people of the area have a hospital for their benefit and expressed his appreciation to the Managing Director of the hospital, Dr. Asela Wijesundara, for taking steps to set up a hospital.
“I have known Dr. Wijesundara more as an outstanding artist than a dentist. I believe he has enhanced knowledge in art and his profession as a physician owing to his rural background, Kurunegala, Mahawa and Nagollagama.
