Our Story
The Centre for Research at the National Hospital Kandy is a leading institution committed to advancing medical science and improving patient care through rigorous research. Our primary focus is on Chronic Kidney Disease of Unknown Aetiology (CKDu), a significant health concern in Sri Lanka’s dry zone. Considering various biological and environmental factors in our studies, we recognize the importance of a multidisciplinary approach.
Our collaborative efforts extend internationally. We partner with esteemed institutions and researchers from the United States, Germany, Singapore, and the University of Peradeniya. These partnerships facilitate cutting-edge research and the development of practical solutions to combat CKDu.
