Caltex organizes medical camps

Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC, the marketeers of Caltex Havoline and Delo brands in Sri Lanka launched a series of mobile health camps for the general public in November. Under the banner 'Caring....for life', the company has invested in this medical program offered free to participants, as a measure to uplift the standards of public health.

The health partner commissioned by Chevron for this campaign is Medi-Calls (Pvt) Ltd. The mobile camp will operate from the Medi-Calls ambulance which will visit the Caltex service stations to carry out the checks, targeting the residents in each area. The project will host over 1400 checkups during the campaign.

The health examinations include a Random Blood Sugar test (RBS), Body Mass Index (BMI), Blood Pressure test (BP), and a free physician consultation, including the physical examination by a SLMC registered doctor.

Under the same initiative, the company decided to run a special focused program for over 200 residents in Ampara. Free health checks were carried out for the two-wheeler and three-wheeler community as a measure to address the significant rise of diabetes and kidney-related diseases prevalent among the Ampara community. Chevron successfully carried out the health camp addressing these two ailments by conducting the Random Blood Sugar (RBS) test for Diabetes and the Blood Pressure (BP) check for kidney related diagnosis.

In addition to the RBS and BP tests, the BMI and a free physician consultation, including the physical examination by a SLMC registered doctor were also conducted.

"The physical wellbeing of a person affects his or her mental and emotional wellbeing; thereby making a direct impact on the individual's interaction and performance in a large community.

As such, we decided to initiate a free medical program for the public, implying the need for them to safeguard and maintain good health to improve their quality of life" commented Chevron Lubricants Lanka PLC MD and CEO Kishu Gomes.

The ambulance is a specially manufactured mobile clinic, by the Nissan Motor Company in Japan.
