The Sri Lanka Foreign Service Association (SLFSA) donated Rs. 3 million to the Colombo North Centre for Liver Diseases (CNCLD) at an event held at the Foreign Affairs Ministry on Thursday (13). The event was attended by Foreign Affairs, Foreign Employment and Tourism Minister Vijitha Herath, CNCLD Clinical Lead Prof. Rohan Siriwardana, Foreign Secretary Aruni Ranaraja, SLFSA President K. K. Yoganaadan, and members of the SLFSA Executive Committee.
The funds were raised through the International Bazaar and Cultural Extravaganza 2024, jointly organized by the Foreign Affairs Ministry and SLFSA, with support from diplomatic missions and international organizations based in Colombo. The event generated Rs. 2.8 million to support liver transplant surgeries at the Colombo North Teaching Hospital, Ragama.
SLFSA extended gratitude to Colombo Good Market for providing the venue, sponsors for financial support, and diplomatic missions for their generous contributions. The Office of the Chief of Defence Staff and the Tri-Forces also played a vital role in coordinating the event.
Recognizing CNCLD’s exceptional service in providing free treatment for complex liver diseases, SLFSA reaffirmed its commitment to future initiatives that align with its mission of social responsibility and international collaboration.
