Embassies & Consulates
It's important to realise the limits of what your embassy can do if you're in trouble. Gener-
ally speaking, their hands are tied if you've broken Sri Lankan law. In real emergencies you
might get some assistance, but only if all other channels have been exhausted. Embassies
can recommend hospitals, doctors and dentists.
