Lanka Hospital’s luxurious wing heralds new era in medical care
Lanka Hospitals PLC announced the opening of its multi-million rupee, luxury wing in keeping with world-class hospital service standards.
The facility offers an unparalleled luxurious experience in hospital-stays for local patients as well for those from overseas, the internationally accredited, multiple award-winning healthcare provider said.
The state-of-the-art new luxury facility, known as the ‘7C Wing’, equipped with modern facilities and medical technology, is managed exclusively by trained medical and nursing staff. The “staycation” style wing houses an expansive environment, with elevated levels of comfort and features that cater to patients and visitors with a wide range of needs and likes.
The five-star healthcare facilities cater to a mix of local patients and medical tourists to provide not only a holistic healing experience but also diagnostics convenience with the ‘7C Wing’ located adjacent to the hospital laboratory.
Deepthi Lokuarachchi, Group CEO Lanka Hospitals said, “In order to compete effectively, we have boldly set pace to move up the value chain, place greater focus on developing our capabilities, complex procedures and provide an overall superior patient experience through greater service standards. Our new wing has been designed to replicate the comfort and luxury experienced in the best hotels and will help re-affirm our reputation as the facility of choice”.
He further said that Lanka Hospitals continues to attract both local and international patients who seek more complex medical procedures, due to its reputation for high quality of clinical care.
“For a more all-encompassing process in the recovery of patients, we have endeavored to meet their penchant for details and the environment we have created aims to help them forget they are in a hospital”, he added.
Being amongst the most reliable healthcare providers in the country, Lanka Hospitals carries a legacy in unmatched patient care since 2002 with special focus on infection control measures during the recent pandemic.
Despite global travel restrictions, the hospital has witnessed a substantial growth in the inflow of medical tourists. This can be attributed to the hospital’s continuous efforts to adhere to the highest safety standards and high quality care in line with international requirements.
Lanka Hospitals provides distinctive services to diplomatic missions, resident foreign nationals and medical tourists, especially to Maldivian visitors.
