Accordingly, Global Health Strategies, an international organization established by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and its local partner Connect to Care Organization, have agreed to establish a Program Support Unit to support the President’s Office in relation to these programs and to act as partners providing active contributions to the Government of Sri Lanka.

As such, an Executive Committee consisting of senior officials will be appointed to ensure proper coordination for the proper implementation of the various programs being implemented by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Upon consideration of the matters presented by President Ranil Wickremesinghe regarding the policy support proposed to be provided by the Foundation to the Presidential Secretariat, the Cabinet of Ministers on Monday (29 Jan.) approved for the necessary measures to be taken in this regard
