Incorporated in 1975 as a wholly owned subsidiary of George Stuart
and Company, George Stuarts Agencies Ltd. was a marketer of consumer
goods, who fast diversified into the importation, promotion, and
distribution of diagnostics and over-the-counter (OTC) products and
gradually ventured into the marketing and distribution of
pharmaceuticals and nutritional products. By the 21st century, the
latter became its main business – providing health care products that
improve the quality of life for all Sri Lankans – and was soon ranked
amongst the top 10 private sector pharmaceutical importers locking horns
with multinational giants.
“We are proud to announce that George Stuarts Health business is
dedicated to developing, manufacturing and marketing of not only
products but also services that will help improve human health,” said
Erandajith Ranasinghe, Executive Director. George Stuarts Health is
backed by the diversified conglomerate - George Stuart and Company – who
combines the strengths of some of the most recognized and well respected
companies in the country.
The George Stuarts Group is actively involved in many strategic areas
of business such as Tea Exports, Trading, Airline Ticketing, General
Sales Agent for Airlines, Inbound and Outbound Tours, Education and
Financial Services, and today creates an integrated specialty
pharmaceuticals and health care business that will drive innovation and
growth locally.
“Moving from a mere stance of a pharmaceutical supplier to a larger
mission of providing premium health care services for the well being of
our people, we consider this venture as one of the most critical and
important sectors in portfolio of GS. We are confident that we will
continue to drive medical progress as we strive to create a better life
for millions of people around the country,” he said.
The Company further announced that it has a strong product and
service pipeline geared toward developing meaningful new therapeutic
options to fulfill unmet medical needs and well-being. It has a robust
research and development program which will look for opportunities to be
a catalyst in the health-care industry by introducing proactive
solutions for the health and wellness of the Nation. “We promise to
nurture a healthier and happier nation by offering unsurpassed medical
solutions aimed at improving lives, and we invite you to come share in
this vision and begin to live life well,” added Ranasinghe referring to
the all new George Stuarts Health philosophy of ‘Live Well.’
At present, George Stuarts Health represents state of the art
international pharmaceutical manufacturers from around the world, who
have been able to provide high quality drugs to all Sri Lankans under
affordable price ranges.
George Stuarts Health, with their new vision, is now ready to play
its role in taking the healthcare industry to the next level with plans
for many more new ventures to be introduced in the near future.
