Indian High Commission ,Sri Lanka’s post-disaster

According to the Indian High Commission in Colombo, New Delhi will extend LKR 225 million in grant assistance to support Sri Lanka’s post-disaster rehabilitation following last year’s Cyclone Ditwah. Announced after bilateral talks between Union Health Minister JP Nadda and Sri Lankan counterpart Dr Nalinda Jayathissa during the first BIMSTEC Health Ministers’ Meeting, the package targets grassroots healthcare resilience. The grant will deploy at least 50 point-of-care medical kiosks and Health ATMs integrated with telemedicine across Arogya Primary Health Centres, building on India’s broader USD 450 million reconstruction pledge and a parallel agreement to expand Sri Lanka’s emergency ambulance fleet.
