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. Private hospitals
are well staffed, and are generally competently run and also comfortable.
