The purposefully curated scheme was formally presented on the 26th July, 2021 at the premises of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka in the presence of representatives from either party, under stringent health protocols set by the Ministry of Health.
"We are honoured to onboard the Bar Association of Sri Lanka to provide the Sri Lankan legal fraternity access to world class healthcare facilities and the support of experienced and highly skilled medical consultants and staff, as they work hard to enforce and maintain good governance among communities across the island.
As a premier healthcare provider, this recognition by the BASL is a clear testament to Nawaloka Hospitals' indelible reputation and ability to innovate and meet the rapidly evolving needs of our people in every sphere of society," remarked Nawaloka Hospitals Deputy Chairman Harshith Dharmadasa.
Under the scheme, all BASL members will be issued a unique PLATINUM membership virtual card, which they can use to access numerous special benefits and free exclusive services at Nawaloka Hospitals branches in Colombo, Negombo, Gampaha and other island wide locations.
This includes discounted rates of up to 20% for surgeries, room reservations, OPD appointments, lab investigations, dental services, intermediate care center admissions, health screening packages at all of the Nawaloka specialist centers as well as free ambulance facilities.
Further, members are able to enjoy personalized assistance from dedicated customer care officers whenever required, access the platinum member lounge, and benefit from priority channel consultation services, video and audio consultations, medical record management facilities, room reservations on executive floors, complementary lab report and medicine and delivery services, among others.
The NawalokaCare mobile app also enables platinum members to access a host of benefits to help better preserve and foster good health and wellbeing.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has certainly gone on to highlight that good health is a paramount necessity that should never be taken for granted.
At this challenging juncture in history, we are happy to join hands with a leading private healthcare provider such as Nawaloka Hospitals to better support the members of our legal fraternity to operate at their best and healthiest," stated Saliya Pieris, President's Counsel and President of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka.
Nawaloka Hospitals entered the state-dominated healthcare sector in 1985 as the first private hospital in Sri Lanka to offer tertiary healthcare services.
Since then, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa, the hospital has garnered considerable local and international recognition, pioneering numerous advanced clinical developments in the country.
