The Batticaloa Teaching Hospital
Emergency & Accident Project
(BEAP)
www.ProjectBEAP.org
August 2012 (Version 3)
Vision
•
To extend and enhance the National Trauma Service in
Regional Sri Lanka
o
Karapitiya (Southern Province, Galle District) completed under a joint
venture between the Government of Victoria in Australia and the Sri
Lankan Government
o
Batticaloa Teaching Hospital (Eastern Province) urgently needs
an updated facility
o
Other public hospitals as needed
Mission
•
To empower doctors in Sri Lankan Teaching Hospitals to improve
health care services, by providing them with medical resources, training
and support to build the necessary infrastructure within their teaching
hospitals.
•
To Enhance the National Trauma Service
from Karapitiya to Batticaloa and beyond
•
To raise US$ 6million
50% from the private sector companies
50% from the Sri Lankan Government,
Ministry of Health
The Need
•
Existing facilities are grossly insufficient to serve
the needs of nearly two million people in that region from Pottuvil in the south to
Trincomalee in the north and Polonnaruwa in the west.
•
•
They seek medical help and treatment for disabilities for:o
Domestic and work related industrial accidents
o
Congenital deformities
o
Injuries lingering post tsunami
o
Road trauma
o
Recreational accidents
o
Vision impairment
Qualified and dedicated doctors and
surgeons need appropriate facilities to
give patient care and treatment
Tsunami injuries
Tree burns and chronic
injuries still need attention
The need for skin
grafting
The Need
•
Modern operating and recovery facilities will help keep doctors and staff motivated
o
•
Modern casualty departments need to be established.
To expand and upgrade the free treatment to the public with better facilities to allow
more specialised treatment and a wider range of services in regional public healthcare
o
•
Sri Lanka announced the largest ever health budget of Rs. 100 billion for 2011/12.
Insufficiency of qualified orthopaedic professionals in regional Sri Lanka
o
Only 21 orthopaedic Surgeons in Sri Lanka in 2005, Today 78 and rising
(Australia has in excess of 1,300 for similar population .)
o
We need to help stop the brain drain by encouraging qualified professionals
to remain in Sri Lanka, by providing better working environments.
•
Anticipated growth in tourism on the Eastern seaboard will
require better emergency medical facilities for tourists who
may be in accidents.
The Need
•
•
•
Increase the teaching facilities and opportunities for Sri Lankan doctors
Attract new specialities to regional Sri Lanka viz:
o
Neurosurgery
o
Plastic surgery
o
Paediatric surgery
o
Cardiac surgery
o
Eye surgery
Better facilities will also encourage more
visiting professionals from developed countries
such as USA, UK, Canada, Australia and the EU
on a pro-bono basis.

Today it is 78; an improvement, but still insufficient
•
•
A National Trauma Service is a good start, which we need to support
Major Teaching Hospitals of Sri Lanka need the infrastructure if they
are to deliver the services.
