Asiri Surgical Hospital completes Stage II Expansion

 

ASIRI Surgical Hospitals (ASH) recently announced the completion of its new medical care wing, comprising a tower adjoining the existing structure, making it one of the largest hospitals in the country.
The 24,760-square foot, nine-storey tower comprises an additional 35 new private patient rooms including 20 special beds to the two new Intensive Care Units and 40 private general medical care rooms. According to a ASH press release the private rooms at this new wing are available in two categories: standard and luxury and are of the highest quality providing the utmost comfort patients and their families.

“We are now able to address the pressing need for more medical care and facilities that has become a dire need in the country,” said Dr. Manjula Karunaratne, COO of ASIRI Group of Hospitals, in the press release.

The new wing is fully equipped with four brand new state-of-the-art operating theatres bringing the total number at ASH to nine. This will ease the time for patients awaiting operations as well and alleviate congestion due to lack of space and facilities. The new space will also allow patients to access more doctors and physicians.

The fourth floor of ASH, which houses the new ASIRI Heart unit, has a catheterization lab and a full-service cardiac rehabilitation programme. A 64-slice CT scanner, which helps diagnose cardiac problems, is already up and running, the release said.
