Hospitals collaborates with CMC in AIDS awareness
promotion
Nawaloka
Hospitals, the leaders amongst private sector healthcare providers,
initiated yet another CSR program when they collaborated with the
Colombo Municipal Council to promote AIDS awareness amongst the
general public within the Colombo Municipal area.
Attractively designed posters, banners and pennants were displayed
at strategic locations, urging the public to do their part to promote
awareness of this dreaded disease and control its spread. A colorfully
illustrated poster with very informative and philosophical phrases
has caught the eyes of many on the roads and those visiting the
hospital .
“We feel it is our duty as a leader in the healthcare sector
to promote awareness regarding major health issues that affect the
general public. In recent times Nawaloka Hospitals have conducted
a series of CSR awareness programs on a variety of important health
issues such as Osteoporosis and Diabetes which have been extremely
well received by the public,” Nawaloka Hospitals Director and
General Manager Professor Lal Chandrasena.
He said that although Sri Lanka has been classified by the World
Aids Foundation as a low prevalence country, “we should not
be complaisant with these observations and strive to take all possible
measures and ways to prevent the spreading of this deadly disease.
“As a responsible corporate entity, Nawaloka Hospitals will
continue its mission by conducting similar public awareness programs
and health clinics in an effort to promote better amongst our people,”
he added.
