SriLankan Airlines facilitated the air travel of the Take Heart Mercy Mission, a team of medical specialists from the United Kingdom who travel to Sri Lanka every year to perform life-saving heart surgery on young children with life-threatening heart defects. This is the 12th consecutive year that the medical team from Evelina Children’s Hospital in London has undertaken this project, by which it has so far performed life-saving heart surgery on over 200 children with congenital heart defects. The team arrived in Sri Lanka on a UL flight from London and performed heart surgeries at Karapitiya Teaching Hospital in Karapitiya, Galle, the largest tertiary care centre in the Southern Province.
