The Horana Hospital, which was a base hospital, had been upgraded to the level of District General Hospital on 03-06-2022 and is currently administered under the Western Provincial Council. At present, the total bed capacity of the hospital is 544, and the approved cadre is 739. The hospital, which is centrally located and covers the Horana area and surrounding areas of Kalutara, Colombo, and Ratnapura districts, provides health care services to a population of approximately one million. Accordingly, having identified the requirement to increase the relevant facilities and human resources to provide tertiary health care services as a District General Hospital, the appropriateness of taking over the aforementioned hospital under the Ministry of Health and Mass media has been recognized. The consent of the Governor of the Western Province has been received for this purpose. Accordingly, the Cabinet of Ministers has approved the resolution furnished by the Minister of Health and Mass Media to take over Horana District Hospital under the Ministry of Health and Mass Media including all the physical and financial assets.
