About PMCU
The Primary Medical Care Unit (PMCU) network in the Kalutara MOH division comprises 9 institutions including PMCUs and Medical Centres (MCs) strategically located to ensure equitable access to primary healthcare for all communities.
These institutions collectively provide OPD services, scheduled medical clinics, preventive care, and community health outreach. The network serves as the first point of contact for patients before referral to divisional hospitals or specialist care.
Operating under the National Institute of Health Sciences (NIHS) and the Kalutara MOH office, the PMCU network plays a vital role in reducing the burden on secondary and tertiary care facilities.
