Aasandha services have been suspended at Lanka Hospitals in Colombo, Sri Lanka, following a failure to renew the service agreement between the two parties. 

Aminath Zeeniya, the Managing Director of Aasandha Company Ltd, speaking with "Mihaaru News" that while previous agreements with the hospital had been renewed before their expiration, they were unable to do so this time. She stated that the failure to renew the contract was due to a lack of consensus on specific terms proposed by both sides. This suspension has caused concern among the many Maldivians who frequently seek medical treatment at the facility.

This sudden suspension has caused frustration among Maldivians currently in Colombo, many of whom rely on Lanka Hospitals for specialized care and were only informed of the change upon arrival at the facility today.
