In June 2020, Melsta Laboratories was launched. Equipped with the latest testing equipment, its Reference Lab is considered the largest stand-alone medical testing facility in the country. Along with its state-of-the-art lab in Colombo and regional labs in Galle, Kurunegala & Kandy. Melsta Labs also manages two hospital-based laboratories. This has given Sri Lankans across the island access to the latest international standard diagnostic testing services. The laboratory was the first to be audited by the Ministry of Health for PCR testing and offers PCR testing facilities for Covid-19.
Melsta’s latest venture, Melsta Pharmacy, which opened its doors to the public recently at 453, Galle Road, Colombo 03, is the most modern and customer-centric facility of its kind. The flagship pharmacy offers numerous unique features, which include home delivery of medicines, free health checks, senior citizen discounts, special patient counselling by qualified and experienced staff.

Melsta Pharmacy further offers mother and baby care products, wellness, surgical and consumable items and a personal care range in store.
