Health Camps
Ceylinco Life’s Health Screening Camp “Waidya Hamuwa” or “Meet the Doctor” is conducted for people living in rural areas of the country. It helps them consult a doctor, undergo health screening tests such as BMI, Blood Sugar, Blood Pressure, Eye Check-ups, etc., and get recommendations for further treatments.
A team of qualified and experienced doctors who are attached to the state health sector and medical teams from private laboratories leads these camps.
If you wish to organise a health camp in your village, write to us at care@ceylife.lk.
High Dependency Units
A High Dependency Unit is used to upgrade a patient from normal care to comprehensive observation during critical conditions, or as a step down from intensive care, helping release beds in the Intensive Care Unit. These are often used as Surgical High Dependency Units that provide post-surgery care for recovering patients before they are transferred to regular wards.
Ceylinco Life purchases beds, the required equipment and installs them in a location provided by the respective hospital. We are also responsible for maintaining the units, including upkeep of the ward and equipment.
We have set up the following units for hospitals around the country.
1. The Lady Ridgeway Hospital (LRH) – Dengue High Dependency Unit
2. The National Hospital of Sri Lanka – Surgical High Dependency Unit
3. The Jaffna Teaching Hospital – Dengue High Dependency Unit
4. The Colombo South Teaching Hospital, Kalubowila – Surgical High Dependency Unit
5. The Kandy Teaching Hospital – Surgical High Dependency Unit
Regional Hospitals
As a Life Insurance company, we’ve identified that for most Sri Lankans living in semi-urban and rural areas, the first destination for emergency health service is their “local hospital”. These are often regional hospitals. Our island wide presence has made us aware that regional hospitals often get lesser priority in terms of resource distribution.
However, during the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, these hospitals became the primary health service provider to locals living in the area. Ceylinco Life has made it a priority to support these hospitals. We were able to provide high flow nasal cannula equipment to 7 state hospitals to treat Covid patients.
Further, we equipped hospitals in Point Pedro with infant incubators and pulse co-oximeters. Ceylinco Life was able to renovate and re-equip the Day Chemotherapy Unit at the District General Hospital Trincomalee, which primarily treats cancer patients and gives them a comfortable environment to receive chemotherapy.
