The fully-equipped, state-of-the-art Tellippalai Trail Cancer Hospital was declared open today (January 19) by President Mahinda Rajapaksa amidst a distinguished gathering. The hospital was built by funds raised through “Trail - A Journey by the Living - For Life”, a walk from Devundera to Point Pedro which ended in July 2011. It was co-founded by Nathan Sivagananathan and Sarinda Unamboowe. Health Minister Maithripala Sirisena, Northern Chief Minister C.V. Vigneswaran and several opposition MPs were among those who attended the event. (Pic by Sudath Silva)
