“The Covid pandemic has at present become the most pressing problem for not only all Sri Lankans but has become global public enemy number 1. Our decision to build an Intensive Care Unit with a special infection control technology system at the Colombo East Base Hospital was taken very early at the onset of this pandemic to support the National Health Services as the fulfilment of social responsibility by Seylan Bank and its staff,”  said Director/Chief Executive Officer of Seylan Bank, Kapila Ariyaratne.
