The handover ceremony to the Sri Lankan government was held on June 13, 2022 in the nation’s capital, Colombo, and attended by A-PAD Sri Lanka’s partner, Sri Lanka Disaster Management Center.
A-PAD Bangladesh and its partner Dhaka Community Hospital Trust (DCHT) sent six representatives including two doctors. The doctors saw more than 500 patients, mostly women and children, at a temporary health clinic and prescribed needed medications. The team also distributed food packages to 200 households acutely affected by the crisis.
