Lanka Hospitals will offer Agrahara beneficiaries special benefits for eye care treatments. This new venture will help public sector employees to obtain quality eye care treatments such as cataract surgery and the LASIK laser eye treatment for affordable rates.
Agrahara insurance scheme was established by National Insurance Trust Fund Board with the Ministry of National Policies and Economic Affairs, to uplift the living standards of government employees and their families island-wide. Nearly 700,000 government employees and their dependants are entitled to premier healthcare services from private hospitals under Agrahara insurance scheme. Lanka Hospitals has partnered with the NITF since 2010.
Lanka Hospitals facilitates a state-of-the-art Eye Care Centre with LASIK laser eye surgeries, cataract surgeries and other related all eye surgeries and procedures where comprehensive procedures and surgeries are conducted. The centre also provides the services of internationally recognized and highly experienced consultant physicians and specialist doctors.
Group Chief Executive Officer of Lanka Hospitals Dr. Prasad Medawatta said the affiliation paves the way for more transparent costs, thus letting them prepare their finances accordingly. The collaboration between the NITF and Lanka Hospitals was particularly encouraging as both entities are under the auspices of the same government entity, and are therefore able to better understand and efficiently serve the particular needs of the public sector employees. Chief Executive Officer of the National Insurance Trust Fund Sanath C. De Silva said the scheme empowers public sector employees by providing them financial protection against unforeseen health problems. “Our main objective is healthcare and well-being of people who are employed by the government. Standardization of medical surgery is our long term objective and our collaboration with Lanka Hospitals is an initial move in that direction. The rates we offer are unmatched by the private sector,” he said.
