Dr. Pannila Ananda Thero, on who’s request Bairaha embarked upon this venture to undertake certain specific civil works in the physiotherapy section and to provide some equipment to the Wathupitiwala District/Base Hospital, remarked that Bairaha Farms PLC has been with the development foundation of the hospital since its inception, and that their collaboration is a great strength for the hospital.

The Surgical Ward No. 15 comprises 36 beds and provides treatments for over 500 internal patients monthly. The Wathupitiwala Base Hospital is one of the main hospitals in Attanagalla, and it provides treatment for victims of road accidents on Colombo-Kandy Road, on a regular basis.
