BOC maintains Maharagama Cancer Hospital children’s ward complex

As part of the banks’ Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives and the 75th Anniversary celebrations, Bank of Ceylon completed maintenance work of the Maharagama Cancer Hospital Children’s ward complex. Minister of Health Maithripala Sirisena graced the occasion. Cancer Hospital Director Dr. Kanishka Gunawardhana, Bank of Ceylon Deputy General Manager Human Resources K.E.D. Sumanasiri, Assistant General Manager Training G.D. Silva, Senior Manager Sarath Imbulamure and representatives of the hospital management and bank staff participated on this occasion.
Maharagama Cancer hospital is the only Government institute in the country that treats cancer patients in Sri Lanka. The children’s ward of this hospital accommodates almost 10% of the total number of in-house cancer patients and having a well equipped good environment in children’s ward is essential for patients for a speedy recovery. The Children’s Ward Complex was constructed and donated by the bank in 2004 and renovated in 2014 in line with banks 75th anniversary. This is yet another CSR project of Bank of Ceylon.
