As an extension of the existing partnership of three years between
the two parties, Agrahara Fund has introduced an electronic card which
contains all personal details of beneficiaries. With this latest
implementation, Agarahara beneficiaries now have the opportunity of
obtaining Lanka Hospitals services by producing the electronic card.
Commenting at the event, Chairman of Agrahara Fund D.
Widanagamaachchi said, “On behalf of National Insurance Trust Fund it is
an honour to partner with Lanka Hospitals as the first private hospital
to have an Agrahara counter which accepts the Electronic Cards. We
considered Lanka Hospitals for this partnership because of many
important reasons, a few of them being, the Lanka Hospitals is the only
government owned private hospital, it is a hospital that has won a Gold
Award from the Sri Lanka National Quality Award for healthcare (Large
Category) and also because it is the first hospital in the country to
receive ISO 15189 accreditation for laboratory. In order to provide the
maximum benefit for our beneficiaries, I believe Lanka Hospitals will
extend them its fullest support in terms of offering the best possible
healthcare at the most cost effective prices .”
CEO of Lanka Hospitals Mr. Lakith Peiris, commented, “I’m thankful to
the Agrahara Fund for introducing this valuable service which will
improve the partnership that we have built over 3 years. It is a great
pleasure that Agrahara Fund has chosen us as their first private
healthcare partner to introduce this service to the Agrahara
Beneficiaries. As stated by Widanagamaachchi, I would like to emphasize
that we will live up to the expectations of excellent services.”
“With this partnership, Agrahara beneficiaries can enjoy Lanka
Hospital facilities with the lowest room rates with a 10% discount, 10%
discount for inpatient laboratory investigations, 15% special discount
for outpatient laboratory services and 5% discount for radiology
investigations etc.” concluded Lakith Peiris.
