SLT-MOBITEL's Vesak Health Camp brings wellbeing and joy to communities

Aligning with the spirit of Vesak, SLT-MOBITEL and eChanneling together with the Navaloka Hospitals Group successfully organized a community health camp titled 'Sabadiyawe Dhahami Sathkaraya Suwa Sahana Health Camp' recently uplifting the wellbeing of communities in the Ratmalana and Moratuwa areas.

Held on May 19, 2024, the camp provided an invaluable opportunity for residents of these areas, especially the elderly, to benefit from free blood and diabetes testing, free electrocardiogram (ECGs), eye check-ups, and free spectacles. Qualified medical professionals were also present to offer consultations including advice and sessions on nutrition. 

Anuruddha Suriarachchi, General Manager - Marketing Services (SLT), Isuru Dissanayake - Chief Commercial Officer (Mobitel), Mohan Ajitkumar- Head of Business Development (eChanneling), Lidira Guruge - Deputy General Manager Provincial Operations - Metro 02 (SLT), Rasika Thilakarathne - Head of Marketing (Nawaloka Hospitals) and several other officials from SLT-MOBITEL participated the event.

The health camp drew an overwhelming response from the community, with hundreds of individuals benefiting from the free medical services offered. The screenings enabled residents who participated to receive expert guidance while SLT-MOBITEL promoted overall wellness in the community. Maliban Biscuits and 'Parampara' Traditional Incense also partnered with SLT-MOBITEL in this noble initiative.

For citizens who were unable to participate in the Health Camp, SLT-MOBITEL facilitated digital access through eChanneling and offered two-weeks of free online medical consultations via the eChanneling platform, beginning from the 19th of May 2024. The convenient virtual service will support individuals to seek professional medical guidance from the comfort of their homes.

As a conscientious organization, demonstrating social accountability and giving back to society, SLT-MOBITEL through the Health Camp was able to extend a helping hand to communities by promoting healthcare accessibility and empowering individuals to prioritize their well-being. Organizing the event to commemorate Vesak also echoed with SLT-MOBITEL’s ability to spread compassion and illuminate hearts with the gift of good health.
