Expolanka’s Expo Medix treats 100,000th patient
View(s):Expolanka Holdings PLC recently reached a milestone 100,000th patient in its flagship CSR programme ‘Expo Medix’, a fast growing chain of affordable and not for profit medical clinics.
‘Expo Medix” treats patients in Mattakkuliya, Slave Island, Grandpass, Wattala, Panadura and Kalutara with an average of over 200 patients visiting each clinic weekly, the company said.
Head of Marketing, Corporate Communications & CSR for Expolanka Holdings PLC Paddy Weerasekera, said, “Expo Medix has come a long way since we initiated the programme with a simple clinic in Mattakkuliya. This is a memorable milestone in our journey as a responsible business entity that contributes to the wellbeing of the community in a critical area. Today, Expo Medix is a fully-fledged chain of medical clinics served by qualified doctors and nurses. The clinics are fully functional in providing medical consultation, diagnostics services and operations for minor surgery requirements. They also provide medicines and drugs at a subsidised cost”.
Expo Medix addresses patients from the lower income segments, who cannot afford the usually high-priced private healthcare system and find themselves unable to address their immediate health needs satisfactorily.
