The project conducted in partnership with the Lions Club (District
306 A1), included a blood donation camp, donation of spectacles and the
presentation of stationery to needy school children in the area.
People who visited the health camp received free general health
checkups and medicines, checks by eye specialists, opticians and
dentists and lipid profile and blood sugar tests. ECGs were also
arranged at a subsidised rate, the company said.
Participants were able to collect their diagnostic reports from the
Lions Club Centre in Moratuwa two days later.
Staff of Asian Paints as well as residents in Moratuwa participated
in the campaign to donate blood to the National Blood Transfusion
Service (NTBS).
"This initiative reflects the commitment of the company to the needs
of the community," said Asian Paints Director/General Manager Joseph L.
Pulikottil. "While the health camp benefited residents of Moratuwa where
we operate and where most of our employees live, the blood donation
campaign will benefit people all over Sri Lanka," he said. Asian Paints
