Former President Ranil Wickremesinghe, who is currently in remand custody, will be transferred to the National Hospital in Colombo on medical advice, prison officials confirmed.
Wickremesinghe was initially admitted to the Prison Hospital after being diagnosed with high blood pressure and elevated blood sugar levels. Prison Media Spokesperson and Commissioner Jagath Weerasinghe said that his request to receive meals from home, due to health concerns, had already been approved.
The decision to move him from the Prison Hospital to the National Hospital was made following further medical recommendations.
