October 12, Colombo (LNW): Former President Mahinda Rajapaksa was taken to Nawaloka Private Hospital in Colombo on Monday morning (12), after reportedly experiencing a sudden heart-related medical emergency at his Kirulapone residence, according to sources close to him.
The former President was transferred to the hospital for urgent medical attention after the incident at his home, the sources said.
A team of specialist doctors is reportedly overseeing his treatment in the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU), where he is receiving close medical supervision.
Sources also indicated that Rajapaksa had undergone several medical examinations in the days preceding his hospital admission. However, the nature of those tests and whether they were connected to Monday’s reported emergency have not been disclosed.
No official statement providing further information about his condition was immediately available. His current medical status and the extent of the reported cardiac problem therefore remain unclear.
