The National Nephrology Specialized Hospital in Polonnaruwa, South Asia's largest dedicated kidney care institution, has fully restored its advanced pediatric dialysis and reverse-osmosis water purification units today, September 30, 2026.

Following an isolated kitchen utility fire on September 26 that temporarily triggered precautionary service interruptions, rapid-response medical and biomedical engineering teams conducted complete air quality purges, electrical recertifications, and clinical clean-room sterilization. Hospital clinical directors confirmed that all 100 hemodialysis stations, outpatient nephrology consultation suites, and the intensive kidney care unit have resumed uninterrupted round-the-clock operations. Health ministry officials affirmed that specialized transport shuttles brought patients from across North Central rural communities to receive scheduled treatments without missing critical therapeutic cycles.
