Ceylinco Healthcare packages...
A special health screening package which includes a breast cancer
risk assessment and discounts on mammograms will be available in October
at the Ceylinco Healthcare Centre.
A promotion launched by the Centre to build awareness on the
importance of early detection of breast cancer in the month dedicated
universally to the cause, the special package also includes a physical
examination by a medical officer, and tests such as Body Mass Index
(BMI), Vision, Blood Pressure, Fasting Blood Sugar, Lipid Profile, Full
Blood Count and a Urine Full Report.
Visitors will be educated on the importance of early detection of
breast cancer and about breast cancer screening when they meet the
medical officer for consultation.
The Centre will also offer those who take this package a 10 per cent
discount on Mammograms, breast scans and its full cancer screening
package.
"Breast cancer is more curable than other cancers if detected early,"
said Dr. Shyama Fernando, the Senior Medical Officer at the Ceylinco
Healthcare Centre. "But statistics reveal that breast cancer results in
many deaths in Sri Lanka because most often, those cancers are detected
at a later stage and are treated only during the advanced stages."
She said the dedicated Breast Care Unit of the Ceylinco Healthcare
Centre is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities for the detection
and treatment of cancer and visitors can undergo screening or treatment
in a comfortable non-hospital atmosphere.
Appointments for screening at the Centre in October can be made over
the telephone.
The team at the Centre's Breast Care Unit comprises of female
Doctors, Radiologists, a Pathologist, Breast Surgeon, Oncologist,
nurses, Radiographers and customer service staff. Located at Park
Street, Colombo 02, the Centre offers services ranging from
history-based risk assessment to clinical examination, mammography,
ultrasound investigation as well as multi-modal treatment options.
Established in collaboration with the world renowned Washington
Hospital Centre, the Ceylinco Healthcare Centre is a ground-breaking
project of Ceylinco Healthcare Services Ltd., (CHSL) a subsidiary of
Ceylinco Life, the country's leading life insurer. |
