2020 accepted 20 October 2020. Sri Lanka is a upper-middle-income country with a population of 21.4 million and a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of about US$ 13,000.00 at purchasing power parity. Despite the total expenditure on health being relatively low (approximately 4.2% of the GDP), Sri Lanka is noted to have achieved health indicators that are comparable with high-income countires, with almost 100% immunization coverage, life expectancy over 75 years, literacy rate over 90% and low mortality rates [1].
