History

Kalmunakudi Central Dispensary was founded in the 1940s.[2] The dispensary was relocated to Kalmunai in 1988 and converted into a Central Dispensary and a Maternity Home.[2] The hospital was upgraded to a Peripheral Unit in 1995, District Hospital in 1996 and Base Hospital in 1999.[2] Kalmunai South Base Hospital was renamed Ashraff Memorial Hospital in 2002 in memory of M. H. M. Ashraff, a leading politician from the area.[2] In 2002 the hospital was taken over by the central government in Colombo - it had previously been controlled by the provincial government in Trincomalee.[2]
