Suwasevana Hospital has celebrated its 40th anniversary this year, marking four decades of healing, innovation, and patient-centred care since its founding on 1 August 1985. From its humble beginnings to becoming a leading private hospital in Kandy, Suwasevana’s journey reflects a commitment to advancing medical excellence and community well-being.
Today, Suwasevana stands as a benchmark in private healthcare with a 170-bed facility, 700+ dedicated staff, and a legacy of over 50,000 successful baby deliveries and 400,000 surgeries. Its state-of-the-art infrastructure and specialist care have cemented its reputation as a hospital where compassion and technology converge.
Over the years, the hospital has consistently led the way in introducing advanced diagnostics and surgical capabilities to the region. The Radiology Department is fully equipped with MRI, CT, DEXA, and Mammogram facilities, while Suwasevana pioneered cardiothoracic surgery in Kandy’s private sector with the first Cardiac Modular Theatre. Today, the hospital operates with nine theatres, including a state-of-the-art Modular Theatre and three specialised Eye Theatres equipped with dedicated microscopy, further enhancing its capacity for advanced and complex procedures. Its Endoscopy Unit, featuring the Olympus Evis X1, complements this advanced infrastructure, raising the bar for patient care in the region.
In line with its growth, Suwasevana has also expanded its reach through a network of laboratories in Akurana, Mawanella, Pilimathalawa, Kadugannawa, Matale, Madawala, and Wattegama. Adding to its strength are new specialised business units, including the ReLife Wellness Centre, focused on holistic wellness and corporate health, and the Specialised Liver Care Unit, the first of its kind in the Central Province private sector. With comprehensive surgery facilities and seamless Agrahara and Suwasahana insurance services, the hospital continues to deliver convenience and confidence to its patients.
Beyond clinical care, Suwasevana has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to community well-being. Monthly free medical camps, annual donations to the School for the Deaf & Blind in Dodanwala, and ongoing CSR initiatives underscore the hospital’s role as a partner in health for the wider community.
Reflecting on this milestone, Suwasevana Hospital Chief Executive Officer Nalin Pasqual noted:
“This 40-year journey is more than a measure of time, it is a testament to trust, progress, and compassion. From pioneering breakthroughs in surgery to touching lives through community service, Suwasevana has grown alongside the people of Kandy. As we look ahead, we remain committed to setting new standards in healthcare while keeping our patients at the heart of everything we do.”
As Suwasevana steps into its fifth decade, the hospital reaffirms its mission to deliver world-class healthcare in the heart of the Central Province, combining innovation with humanity, for generations to come.
