Surgical Unit
Expert Wound Care, Prompt Healing
Healing starts with the right care — and our team is here to ensure every wound is treated with skill, care, and dignity.
At STS Hospital, Jaffna, our Surgical Unit specializes in advanced wound care and minor procedures that promote safe, effective healing — without the need for major surgery. Our compassionate team is trained to manage a wide range of wounds with precision, hygiene, and attention to detail.
We care for patients with acute and chronic wounds, diabetic ulcers, pressure sores, post-surgical dressings, and minor injuries. Using modern dressing materials, sterile techniques, and customized care plans, we focus on reducing pain, preventing infections, and speeding up recovery.
We also work closely with other departments such as endocrinology and physiotherapy to ensure a holistic approach, especially in patients with diabetes or mobility challenges.
