42 Health and Wellness Centres to Open in 21 Districts Under ‘Healthy Sri Lanka’ Programme
Under the second phase of the pilot project to establish 1,000 health and wellness centres across the island, 42 centres will be inaugurated in 21 districts on the 24th.
These centres are being set up under the innovative “Healthy Sri Lanka” programme, implemented under the instructions and guidance of the Minister of Health and Mass Media, Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa.
During the first phase of the pilot project, five health and wellness centres were established in 2025 at Mapalagama in the Galle District, Ath Oya in the Ratnapura District, Thalpitiya in the Kalutara District, Polagollawatte in the Kandy District, and Gankanda in the Matale District.
The Ministry of Health and Mass Media has planned to establish 250 new health and wellness centres covering the entire island this year. A total allocation of Rs. 1,500 million has already been made for this initiative in the 2026 Budget, reflecting the Government’s commitment to strengthening preventive healthcare services nationwide.
