About Ranaviru Sevana
Sri Lanka Army had to implement a proper Rehabilitation system to protect its own members who got disabled while performing their prime duty of protecting our nation from terrorist.
Initially Sri Lanka Army established the Directorate of Rehabilitation in 1988 and under the supervision of Directorate Ranaviru Sevana the army Rehabilitation centre was established on the 10th October 1990.
Ranaviru Sevana started with a ward consisting of 25 beds, DPM section a gym, a swimming pool and an administration building construction of buildings was closely supervised to keep the natural environment of the land.
To fulfill the real requirement of Rehabilitation of disabled soldiers Ranaviru Sevana was expanded gradually. Several new departments such as orthotic and prosthetic Dept., Vocational training section, occupation and therapy unit and “Ranaviruwo” musical band were added for said expansion.
Now Ranaviru Sevana has completed its 15th year and still this Rehabilitation centre provides a better service to disable war heroes of our nation to forget their disability and to live with the able members of our society.

You may have read about conditions, where hundreds of injured reserve and soldiers are housed in deplorable conditions and forced to wait months just to see a doctor. These soldiers made huge sacrifices, leaving their families and jobs to fight. Now they find themselves living in hot, crowded, unsanitary barracks and waiting far too long to see overworked doctors. This is hardly the heroes' welcome they might have expected.
For every injured soldier military medicine keeps alive, that's one more who might need years of care and disability benefits from Govt, which historically has struggled to keep up with demand.
Some worry that things will get worse with this new influx of enrollees, worries about the future, and whether the country they fought for will return the favor when it comes to disability payments and health care. But most of their worries are more immediate, like whether the 8-inch incision in their stomach will leak again, or if nerve damage in their leg will be permanent.
If government is doing something through Ranaviru Sevana to these soliders…. We
Should welcome these initatives… but its questionable to what extent is going to help them.. Any way it’s a good start for these heroes. Good job… Thx…………………
