Unused equipment worth more than Rs. 1.5 million is facing ruin at Panvilatenna regional hospital in Kandy, an audit has revealed.

They include dental surgical equipment and equipment cleaning tools.

This dental surgical equipment is worth Rs. 473,760, while the cleaning tools are valued at Rs. 952,000.

The cleaning tools are without a power supply either.

The reason for their unused state is that the hospital does not have a dental surgeon.

However, the nearby Elamaldeniya primary medical unit does not have dental equipment or staff, but a dental surgeon is attached there.
