Accordingly, the cabinet has approved the resolution submitted by the Minister of Health for the establishment of 20 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies within 200 acres as the first step of this project and 20 pharmaceutical manufacturing companies within 200 more acres as the second phase of this project. The Sri Lanka Board of Investment (BOI) will furnish necessary infrastructure facilities for the project.
