The Suwa Seriya Foundation (Suwa Seriya Ambulance Service or 1990 Ambulance Service) is a nonprofit organization responsible for operating ambulances and answering and responding to urgent and emergency medical situations within all nine provinces of Sri Lanka.
In 2016, the foundation was established on a $7.56 million grant from the Government of India on a request made by the Government of Sri Lanka on a proposal made by Harsha de Silva, then a deputy minister for a pre-hospital emergency ambulance service, which Sri Lanka lacked at the time.
In the next few years, the service was expanded to all nine provinces of the island with a fleet of 297 ambulances.
The ambulances were purchased from Tata Motors with an additional grant from India worth $15.09 million.
Initially the service was opposed by nationalist groups and the Government Medical Officers Association.
