St Luke's Methodist Hospital
St. Luke’s Methodist Hospital was established in 1901 by the Methodist Mission in the Jaffna Peninsula, Sri Lanka. Today it is a barely functioning hospital. The hospital was known for the care it used to provide the community through inpatient and outpatient care, maternity and dental services.
Due to the protracted civil war and lack of facilities and personnel, the hospital ceased to be functional. Once the war ceased, the Puttur Methodist Mission was determined to keep this hospital open to serve the public. However, due to lack of funding they have been unable to renovate, equip and bring in the needed medical professionals to provide services.
The Hospital Today
Currently, the hospital is able to offer a mere two hours of consultancy each weekday. The Methodist Mission has partly renovated a one-room building from which a retired medical officer provides this service to the community...

...but there are still several buildings, pictured below, in desperate need of restoration and re-purposing.

Your continuing support will enable us to achieve our vision of redeveloping St Luke's Hospital into a fully functioning medical facility that serves the needs of the community.
