India set up a fully equipped field hospital in Mahiyanganaya, Sri Lanka, to provide trauma care and emergency medical support following the devastation caused by Cyclone Ditwah. The deployment included a 25-member Indian team comprising medical professionals and engineers, ensuring both healthcare delivery and assistance in restoring essential connectivity. Indian Air Force C-17 aircraft also transported Bailey bridges to support infrastructure rehabilitation. This initiative demonstrates India’s commitment to regional humanitarian aid, strengthening bilateral ties while responding swiftly to urgent rescue and relief requirements in a neighbouring country experiencing significant casualties and ongoing distress.
