Commenting on the decision, Hewawasam said that it was taken to provide a more efficient and qualitative service to senior citizens. Wijayasinghe said that the institute had not laid off or reduced wages of a single employee throughout the COVID-19 pandemic over the last two years. This step is treated as a solution to unemployment as it facilitates employment opportunities to those who have lost their jobs as well as new job seekers. In addition, the institute also expects to extend nursing services to Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Singapore, following the COVID-19 pandemic, to help boost our country’s economic standing by earning foreign exchange.
