Lady Ridgeway Hospital serves as the national referral center for pediatric care for Sri Lanka.

It also serves as local pediatric hospital for the population in and around Colombo city for emergency and outpatient care.

In July 2021, Sri Lankan cricketer Angelo Mathews announced that he was interested in taking a major responsibility to find donors for a social welfare project titled "Little Hearts" which is also a national fundraising project being initiated in order to build a Cardiac and Critical Care Complex at the LRH hospital.

[1][2] He was inspired to get involved with the Little Hearts fundraiser after acknowledging the way the doctors and nurses had treated his daughter who was admitted to LRH hospital.

In addition to these, radiology, pathology, haematology, microbiology and anesthesiology departments headed by senior consultants provide quality assistance to both inpatients and outpatients.
