A special aspect of this project is that the information and services provided are tailor-made to the requirements of the customer / inquirer whether he /she be a mother, father, young man, young woman or member of any other category.

Another specialty of the project is that while the relevant information services are provided by doctors with special knowledge in the field of procreative health these services and information could be obtained in English, Sinhala or Tamil as well. One of the facilities available under this project is that anyone could quickly come to know the address and telephone numbers of the relevant Government hospitals and clinics.

The launch of this project took place under the patronage of Science and Technology Minister Professor Tissa Vitharana at the BMICH in Colombo recently.
