de Silva welcomed HNB’s support and emphasised the crucial role of corporate partnerships in sustaining the ambulance service:
“The generosity of organisations like HNB enables us to expand and enhance our emergency medical services, ensuring that life-saving pre-hospital care remains accessible to all Sri Lankans, free of charge. The addition of these two ambulances will significantly strengthen our fleet, allowing us to reach more individuals in need and respond more efficiently to medical emergencies.”
The 1990 Suwa Seriya Ambulance Service, recognised for its rapid-response emergency medical care, has been instrumental in providing free pre-hospital care emergency ambulance services across Sri Lanka, assisting thousands of individuals daily. HNB’s contribution will enhance the service’s reach and operational capacity of the service, ensuring faster response times and improve medical support in critical situations.
HNB’s involvement in the ‘Adopt an Ambulance’ initiative aligns with its broader corporate social responsibility strategy, which prioritises community health and well-being. Through strategic partnerships, HNB continues to support projects that have a lasting positive impact on the Sri Lankan society.
