Nawaloka Hospital Negombo opens Sreeni Dharmadasa Heart Care Centre

Nawaloka Hospital Negombo has marked a significant milestone in Sri Lanka’s private healthcare sector with the opening of the Sreeni Dharmadasa Heart Care Centre, a purpose-designed facility dedicated to delivering advanced cardiac care.

The centre features a Guided Therapy Platform, complemented by advanced cardiovascular and interventional technologies designed to enhance clinical precision, safety and efficiency while delivering patient-centred care.

The opening ceremony was attended by Prof. Chrishantha Abeysena - Minister of Science & Technology and W.E. Dulip Chamara Fernando - Mayor of the Negombo Municipal Council, as Chief Guests.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Harshith Dharmadasa said, ‘’This investment brings modern imaging technology closer to our communities while keeping specialist expertise and patient safety at the centre of care. As Sri Lanka moves towards greater use of AI and digital healthcare, innovation must translate into timely treatment, better value and a smaller gap in access to quality services.”

At the heart of the new facility is the Philips Azurion 7 C20 diagnostic and image-guided therapy system, an advanced medical imaging platform that integrates imaging technology, clinical software and streamlined workflow capabilities to support specialists during diagnostic assessments and image-guided interventions.

The system enables medical professionals to perform image-guided procedures with enhanced visual information, supporting precise clinical assessment and minimally invasive treatment approaches where appropriate.
