Healthy Life Clinic celebrates 10 years of medical care with a unique vision
View(s):Healthy Life Clinic, which now provides family medical care, diabetes care and health services for corporates, recently celebrated 10 years of providing and advocating for medical care with a unique and holistic vision.
Founded in 2005, as a diabetes clinic, and now located at No. 10, Deal Place A, Duplication Road, Colombo 3, Healthy Life Clinic has expanded to enable patients to access 25 leading medical specialists from various disciplines.
However, it continues to retain and advocate its unique vision relating to medical care – particularly with regard to the need for each patient to have a family physician, the company said in a media release.
Patients can access general physicians (GPs), paediatricians, eye surgeons, dermatologists, cardiologists, surgeons, dieticians/nutritionists, psychologists, psychiatrists, endocrinologists, physiotherapists and speech therapists via the Healthy Life Clinic. In terms of family medical care, patients of all ages can consult general physicians at the clinic. The clinic also offers all necessary facilities for diabetes patients including diabetes specialists, testing facilities, dietary/weight management and psychological counselling and eyecare. Another emerging focus of this unique clinic is corporate health care, under which it advocates managing and maintaining wellness.
“At Healthy Life Clinic we look holistically at patients and are committed to improving the overall wellness and health of our patients, rather than narrowly looking at only a single ailment,” Chief Consultant, Dr. Kayathri Periasamy said. “That is particularly why we strongly advocate the need for each person to have a family physician who would have a good overall idea of the family’s medical history etc. and would be able to give proper medical guidance.”
Commenting on the unique features of Healthy Life Clinic, Dr. Kayathri said, “Since it is quiet and confortable for my patients, booking is taken over the phone and a very friendly and yet professional service is offered, the patients find the Healthy Life clinic to be very likeable. If they (the patients) like it, my job is easier. I also like the easy communication we have with the GPs and specialists and paramedical services which then allows better, seamless care for my patients.”
