BoC and GMOA to sponsor Medical Interns Website

The Bank of Ceylon (BoC) recently joined with the Government Medical Officers Association (GMOA) to upgrade the medical interns website www.medicalinterns.lk .

The website facilitates medical interns to enhance their knowledge and skills.

This also lays a platform for members to communicate concerns that arise on the job and to obtain the guidance and support needed.

A Memorandum of Understanding was signed recently to extend bank's sponsorship to develop the website.

The bank has established a good working relationship with the GMOA and its members over a period of time. The bank also has its Regent Street branch to cater to the needs of Colombo General Hospital Doctors, medical staff and incoming patients. The GMOA Sri Lanka was established in 1926 and currently has over 16,000 members. It provides extensive support to medical professionals in the country in terms of knowledge and skill development.

The GMOA has also initiated the interns program as a preparatory course for doctors who were awaiting internship.

Consultants of major disciplines, medical administrators and legal officers participate as resource personnel at the program which address both theoretical and practical aspects. BOC is proud to have sponsored this website in aiding doctors to update their knowledge, sharpen their skills and align their attitudes in rapidly changing medical science.

Recognising the value of members of the GMOA, the Bank of Ceylon offers special personal loan facilities for its members. With a minimum security and attractive interest rate and flexible repayment period, the doctors can avail themselves a personal loan facility up to a maximum of Rs.6 million for a maximum repayment period up to seven years.
