ACT Lanka now has access to hospitals Cheddikulam and Menik Farm. After three deliveries to Padaviya (transit hospital) and Vavuniya (regional hospital) is now able to provide relief directly to the camps. The need of Sri Lankan war survivors right now is urgent and we hope you can help us make the most of this access. The proposal is now available (PDF).

Next Tuesday Professor Sheriffdeen and a team are visiting the area to see what is needed. They will be taking one lorry worth of medical items, including four surge modules. Surge modules are kits which provide the basics for 10 doctors to operate on 2,000 patients.

Meanwhile we are urgently raising funds and procuring needed items based on the list in the attached proposal. Pending the needs assessment we will procure more and could use your support. Anyone in Sri Lanka can make a donation at any NDB branch and anyone internationally can make a wire transfer. There are more details on our Donate page.

This access is rare and we hope to make the most of it. The Phase 1, Part 3 proposal is attached below:
