Donation of a Wheel Chair to Cancer Ward - Kandy Hospital

Mobility support is a crucial aspect of patient care, particularly for individuals undergoing intensive cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation, which often leave patients experiencing severe fatigue, weakness, and physical strain. To assist with patient transport and improve hospital accessibility, a specialized wheelchair was donated to the oncology ward at Kandy National Hospital. The donation addresses a continuous operational requirement within high-volume hospital wards. Navigating large medical facilities for routine diagnostic scans, treatment sessions, and ward transfers can present a significant physical hurdle for frail cancer patients. Providing a dedicated wheelchair directly to the ward ensures that patients can be moved securely without unnecessary exertion or discomfort. Beyond facilitating smoother clinical operations for hospital staff and primary caregivers, this intervention promotes patient dignity and care during a challenging treatment journey. By strengthening the physical infrastructure of the oncology unit, the initiative reinforces community support for local healthcare institutions serving cancer patients from across the region.
