Early years
Durdans Hospital was established in 1939. Originally the stately home of Charles Peiris, the brother of Sir James Peiris, it became the primary military hospital in British Ceylon. Its primary purpose was to treat British personnel during World War II. In 1945, a group of doctors seeking a private enterprise gained ownership of the hospital to establish Ceylon Hospitals Limited, the predecessor of modern-day Durdans Hospital.

Medical tourism
Durdans is part of the drive to build a 2015–20 National Masterplan Initiative on Medical Tourism. This would map out such factors as availability of hospital facilities, accreditation, specialisations, centre of excellence areas, post-surgery and wellness packages, medical tourism packages and tie-ups with global medical travel agents.
