Continuing to reaffirm its commitment to social responsibility, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka (CA Sri Lanka) extended its support to Deniyaya Base Hospital by donating essential medical equipment to strengthen healthcare services, particularly in the Maternity Ward and Paediatric Unit. The initiative was part of the Institute’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) efforts and in celebration of its 65th anniversary.
Deniyaya Base Hospital has been facing a critical shortage of essential medical equipment, significantly impacting its ability to provide adequate healthcare services. The lack of diagnostic tools, patient monitors, and life-saving devices posed serious challenges, especially for maternity and paediatric care. The unavailability of these critical tools also led to situations where patients’ lives, especially those in the maternity ward, were at risk.
Having carefully evaluated the hospital’s requirements in consultation with a technical team formed by the hospital, and in response to the urgent need, CA Sri Lanka donated medical oxygen supply equipment, one multi-monitor, four syringe pumps, and four BP apparatus (aneroid), worth over LKR 3.7 million.

The official handing-over ceremony took place on 15th March 2025 at the hospital premises where Mr. Heshana Kuruppu, President of CA Sri Lanka handed over the equipment to Dr. Kasun Withana, Medical Superintendent at the Deniyaya Base Hospital. Among those present at the event were Members of the Council of CA Sri Lanka, Mr. Thivanka Jayasinghe, Chairman of the Member Relations Committee, Ms. Jani Ganeshan, Chair of the CSR Sub-Committee, members of the Member Relations Committee, donors, Ms. Lakmali Priyangika, CEO of CA Sri Lanka, as well as the staff of the Institute and the hospital.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Kuruppu emphasised CA Sri Lanka’s commitment to supporting the healthcare sector: “Health is essential, and doctors play a vital role in saving lives. This donation will undoubtedly contribute to building a healthier future for generations to come.”
Dr. Withana extended the hospital’s gratitude to CA Sri Lanka, emphasising how the donation will help save lives and improve patient care.
