The medical staff and all employees attached to the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital have been performing a salutary service over a period of three decades particularly to the armed forces personnel wounded in battle against LTTE terrorists, said North Central Province Chief Minister Berty Premalal Dissanayake when addressing a ceremony to confer letters of appointment to 181 casual employees attached to the Anuradhapura Teaching Hospital who have now been absorbed to the permanent cadre.

Speaking further he said the armed forces have rescued the Mavilaru irrigation scheme from the grip of terrorists and they brought immense relief to all sections of the community.

Jobs have also been provided to 40,000 graduates and 50,000 are undergoing training in nursing.
