Puthukudiyiruppu Divisional Hospital Projects by Assist RR – Nov 2013

Puthukudiyiruppu (PTK) Divisional Hospital was the last functioning hospital in Vanni before the end of the war.  This hospital was badly damaged by shelling and was forced to move to a make shift hospital.  The hospital made a request to Assist RR for help with the renovation of the mortuary, since they were unable to use the existing mortuary, which was damaged during the war. Assist RR agreed to support and the renovated mortuary was handed over to the hospital on 5th Nov 2013. Assist RR has also joined forces with Serendip Children’s Home to raise funds to build at least one ward in the hospital.  Both charities have raised nearly £20,000 so far and laid foundation to a ward on 05th Nov 2013.  The construction has commenced and is expected to be completed by Mid Jan 2014.
