The 1990 Suwa Seriya Foundation was established by Act of Parliament in 2018, and functions under Primary Health Care, Epidemics and COVID Disease Control State Ministry. 1990 Suwa Seriya provides island-wide, free pre-hospital emergency care to all Sri Lankans, with an average response time of 15:32 minutes.
Going beyond providing a basic emergency service, ‘1990 Suwasariya’ has embraced new technology in providing this remarkable service including a locally developed real-time vehicle tracking system monitored by the central command and control center, and an ambulance navigation and routing system for faster reach to the patient location. Importantly, all cases are followed up with the patient party 48 hours after the incident and a 24/7 police post is stationed within the control center for immediate communications with the respective police stations.
To improve access in times of emergency, the 1990 Suwa Seriya Foundation has introduced an emergency app on Android and IOS, allowing you to call an ambulance to your location with just a press of a button.
Our 297 ambulances are strategically located in police stations across the island and are connected to our fast and efficient call centers that operated 24/7 to ensure your medical emergency receives the immediate attention it requires.
With our current average response time standing at 8-15 minutes, we believe in making sure that the patient is always transported to the hospital within the ‘golden hour’ to provide prompt medical care. The current critical challenge we are facing is adhering to the stipulated response time due to the obstructions caused by the traffic congestion on the roads. As a proactive measure, we have designed a campaign to affect a behaviour change of motorists by creating a renewed awareness on the importance of giving way to an ambulance as this is currently a pressing issue to reach the 8 minute response time. We will be collaborating with the Sri Lanka Police on this project and this large scale awareness will not only help Suwaseriya vehicles but all ambulances in general. Many responsible corporates have come forward to support this cause
1990 Suwa Seriya Pre hospital Ambulance Service signed an MOU with the Sri Lanka College of Cardiology to obtain professional advice on Handling of Cardiac Patients who are being transported via the 1990 ambulance service. This partnership will help save more lives of the public who seek our services.
