Our Story
Southern Sri Lanka's
Trusted Medical Team
From a single ambulance in Galle to a comprehensive emergency medical service — built on compassion and a promise to always show up.
About STJ
Founded on a Promise to Serve
STJ Southern Ambulance is a leading private ambulance and patient transport service based in Galle, Southern Province, Sri Lanka. Rooted in the St. John Ambulance tradition, we carry decades of emergency medical expertise into every call.
Founded by Mr. Dasitha Abeyrathna, our mission has always been clear: provide swift, professional, and compassionate emergency medical services to our community. What started as a single ambulance serving Galle has grown into a full-service provider covering the entire Southern Province.
Today our team of trained paramedics, first responders, and support staff works around the clock — so that when you need us most, help is always just one call away.
