DH Damana

I'm not going to repeat on the geographical location of Damana or it's attractions here again as I have already mentioned them in my previous post on Damana MOH office.

DH Damana is just walking distance from Damana MOH office.

Location of DH Damana with respect to Damana MOH Office

 It's located in close proximity to A25 route. From the A25 route you have to walk in about 300 meters to DH Damana. To be exact it's exactly the small concrete road which is there opposite the 42nd Km post

Photo taken from the opposite side of the road. In the distance the name board you see is that of Damana police station.

Walking to the hospital from the road is yet another rewarding experience. The whole road is a tree tunnel.

Hospital front looks like this. It's very well shaded from the trees surrounding it.

One of the wards is shown in this photo

Hospital occupies 4 no's of doctors. Hospital got two good quarters where you get pipe borne water and electricity. Male single doctors share the quarters together. In cases where 4 doctors cannot share the available two quarters you need to find a boarding place.


This is a photo of the available two quarters.

For those of you who got a thirst for photographic evidence, hope this suffices. This is a photo taken at the office of the MO Planning at Ampara RDHS. Please note that some of them are actually posts in the RDHS itself hence there are 52 items in the list.

Well it's quite a lot isn't it.Will be posting details of individual stations in the coming days. 

What is so special about North & East Appointments?

Most of you who is visiting this blog must have completed your hard internship period. Well first and foremost congratulations !!! You are on your way to become a full pledged Medical professional.

Next step post intern appointments. Based on your merit you will be provided with a station for you to practice as a MO. Well all the elite ranks get the stations that they wish for. But when it comes to the lower ranks like below 900th rank you don't necessarily get what you wish for but rather you'll be appointed in stations where all the elite ranks have refused.
So what's the big deal here and what kind of stations are left for the lower ranks?

Stations which are left out are most definitely way far from Capital Colombo. Not 100 km's but 200 or more km's from Colombo.

Almost all North & East appointments are like that. Apart from them there are none North & East appointments. Examples: like  distant villages bordering cities like Anuradhapura & Polonnaruwa.

So choice is ultimately yours on the personal preferences. However there is a catch to non- North East post intern appointments. Those who get Non-North East post intern appointments have to serve that station for 2 years on a stretch for them to be eligible for a transfer.
But North & East post intern appointments enjoy a special privilege. They are entitled to a transfer after an active one year service.

This blog is written with the intention of providing comprehensive information on as much as North & East stations possible for a new comer to make informed decisions to select his/her station.

I myself is not a Doctor but an engineer. When my wife applied for her post intern appointment it was a really hectic task finding out the details of the stations. I hope that this blog will help all of you to make informed decisions.

In the coming days I'll start filling the blog with all such information
