The Batticaloa Teaching Hospital Emergency & Accident Project(BEAP)

www.ProjectBEAP.org

Vision

• To extend and enhance the National Trauma

Service in Regional Sri Lankao 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

• 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

Mission

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 motivatedo 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 healthcareo 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.

• Total of 26 in 2004• Today it is 78; an improvement, but still insufficient

We need to organise a social movement to improve the health services of Sri Lanka

• 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.
