The complex has five operating theatres with these 21 minor staffers working in all five theatres. The hospital does not currently have a permanent Hospital Director, which has been the case since the demise of its previous Director Dr. Wasantha Dissanayake in April of this year. The Health Ministry’s Laboratory Services Director Dr. Vijith Gunasekera is serving in a temporary capacity as the hospital’s Director. The hospital provides specialised care for the diagnosis and follow-up treatment of cancer for patients from all over the country. All attempts to contact the temporary Director Dr. Gunasekera proved futile.
