Ceylinco Life's Waidya Hamuwa conducts over 25 free medical camps

Ceylinco Life's unique corporate social responsibility project Waidya Hamuwa has conducted more than 25 free medical camps in many parts of the country in the first eight months of this year, taking medical expertise to people in remote villages and suburban towns, the company said this week. More than 5,000 people from all walks of life have been examined at these camps by the team of travelling doctors facilitated and funded by the country's life insurer.

This year's program has covered the length and breadth of the country, with medical camps in towns such as Medawachchiya and Anuradhapura in the North Central Province, Kalmunai in the Eastern Province, Akuressa and Beliatta in the Deep South, Badulla and Bandarawela in the hill country and Moneragala.

The medical camps, conducted at the premises of the company's branch offices or at public locations in these towns, are open to policyholders as well as the public.

Participants undergo a structured examination at these camps and are provided with a medical report containing the doctor's findings and recommendations.

"As a life insurer, the health of the nation is a paramount concern to us," Ceylinco Life Chief Executive Director R. Renganathan said. "This program enables us to contribute towards building a healthier nation, while also providing our policyholders with a valuable benefit."
