Volunteer Holly Eggleston spent three weeks in Sri Lanka in the autumn of 2019 undertaking placements in various medical establishments in order to gain experience prior to starting a medical degree in the UK. Holly spent time at the Centre for Handicapped in Kandy, a private hospital in Kandy, Mother Teresa’s home for destitute young woman and Peradeniya Teaching Hospital. She observed staff patients, routines and administration in all of these settings and enjoyed conversing with many of the medical teams that we have supported through our grants and donations as detailed on other pages of this website.
