For the first time in Sri Lanka, a sperm bank has been launched yesterday (March 23) within a government hospital – at the Castle Street Hospital for Women in Colombo 08.
This initiative aims to provide hope for individuals and couples facing fertility challenges by offering access to high-quality donor sperm for fertility treatments.
Accordingly, the donation process is designed to be straightforward, requiring donors to undergo only a few medical tests.
Hospital Director Dr. Ajith Kumara Danthanarayana assures that both donor anonymity and recipient privacy will be fully protected, in line with international medical standards.
To ensure the safety and quality of sperm donations, all donors will be required to undergo a series of medical tests before their samples are accepted.
Further commenting, Dr. Ajith Danthanarayana said, “This sperm bank has been functioning for some time now. Through this, we have identified mothers and fathers experiencing infertility issues.”
Donors willing to support parents having infertility issues, can contact the sperm bank at Castle Street Women’s Hospital through the following numbers: 0112 678999 / 0112672216
