Medical Services
Most hotels have a doctor on call, I and most embassies can provide a referral list. Medical attention is available from many private hospitals, or from the state-owned Colombo General Hospital (Tel: 691111). It has the most advanced cardiology unit on the island and provides medical attention free to Sri Lankans. Foreigners are required to pay for certain services, There are general hospitals in Kandy (Tel: 08 23337), Negombo (Tel: 031 22261) and Galle (Tel: 0932276), Although many doctors have British qualifications, state hospitals have poor facilities and crowded wards.
