Based on the premise that wellbeing is a result of commitment to consistent practices in all aspects of human functioning, “WHealth – Corporate Wellness Solutions” is a synergy between the professionals of physical health, mental health and technology, the companies said in a joint media release.
WHealth offers organisations with holistic and well-rounded wellness packages that are customised and covers from assessment to diagnosis to treatment. It puts aside the traditional healthcare model to make quality care more accessible, and tailor-made. WHealth goes above and beyond the standard medical checkups, to offer periodic health profiling, life style coaching, behaviour management through proactive monitoring, and motivational support services to add more meaning to physical health checkups. It is an ideal solution for organisations to offer as benefits to their workforce.
Dr. Kayathri Periasamy, Director/ Physician of Healthy Life Clinic observed that “based on the current health trends and needs of the Sri Lankan population, it is clear that non-communicable diseases are the biggest killers. To understand the gravity of it, one only needs to think of the causes of death in the last five funerals one may have attended. It rears its ugly head during the 20s, is nurtured in the 30s and practically ignored in the 40s, only to succumb in the 50s just when one retires. This is where, good clear health awareness messages can help in preventing such devastating consequence”.
WHealth brings in this information to organisations and corporates, and also provides support and guidance for a continuous healthy mindset within the organisations. Healthy Life Clinic offers a range of physical health solutions supported by an expert team of specialised medical professionals for individuals and organisations alike.
Forte Consultancy, led by Business and Organisational Psychologist Rozaine Cooray, contributes to the mental and emotional health component to the solution thereby, focusing on overall wellbeing of the workforce. Ms. Cooray said that, “we recognise the debilitating effects of prolonged stress and dissatisfaction due to the ever increasing demands of the organisational world. Through WHealth, Forté Consultancy offers outplacement counselling and lifestyle coaching via phone/Skype, or face to face, mental health workshops on stress management, and emotional, social and relationship intelligence to better equip people to build resilience in their organisational and personal life”.
MyDoctor.lk the pioneer in the digital healthcare landscape in Sri Lanka unifies the health and wellness expertise of Forté Consultancy and Healthy Life Clinic. Dr. Malinda de Silva of MyDoctor.lk stated that “MyDoctor facilitates well trained health and wellness experts to be available around the clock via phone, video or email whether you are at home, office or on the go. The revolutionary addition has been the introduction of a comprehensively connected health vault which links-up the key stakeholders in the healthcare industry, namely the doctors, patients, laboratories and pharmacies”.
