This concept has been in practice at Colombo National and Sri Jayewardenepura Hospitals for quite some time, offering services at a much lower cost compared to private hospitals. Recently, in January, I spent a week in the paying ward at…
The saying “Every search for a hero must begin with something that every hero requires: A villain” is perhaps the quote that stands out the most in Mission Impossible 2.
