Inter Health Partners, an organisation based in Canada, has donated medicines worth 1.5 million Pounds through the assistance of eight pharmaceutical companies in the United Kingdom for the benefit of tsunami victims in Sri Lanka and Maldives.

Sri Lanka’s High Commissioner in UK, Faiz Mustapha and his Maldivian counterpart Shabeer Hussain were last week invited to inspect the consignment, prior to being shipped to the two countries.

Meanwhile, 200,000 Pounds have already been raised through the initiative taken by Mrs. Amina Mustapha, wife of the High Commissioner, to build an orphanage in Komari under the auspices of Mrs. Sugandi Kadirgamar, President of the Seva Vanitha Unit of the Foreign Ministry.
