Lanka Hospitals launches Male Wellness Centre
View(s):Lanka Hospitals PLC has announced its latest addition to the Centres of Excellence- the Male Wellness Centre (MWC) – in a bid to offer services to improve health and wellbeing of men. It’s also significant that a fully-fledged wellness centre dedicated solely for men has been established for the first time in Sri Lanka, the company said in a media release.
Often men who play the role of breadwinner in a family, tends to neglect their own health by prioritising the needs of the family. Further, hospitals and medical institutions pertaining to both public and private sector facilitate dedicated centres to address health issues of women, children as well as senior citizens, and have not considered establishing a centre solely for addressing health issues of men. Likewise, medical awareness programmes covered by the main stream media too focus on popular ailments such as diabetes, cardiac related issues as well as cancers, and rarely bring health issues of men to notice. As a medical institution in the forefront of the private health sector, Lanka Hospitals took these factors into consideration and established a fully-fledged dedicated centre to uplift the health and wellbeing of men, the release said.
The MWC caters to a host of services including Personnel fitness scheduling and programming, Sport health and injury management, Dietary and Nutritional advices, Pre-marital counselling and health screening, Management of premature ejaculation, Management of Erectile dysfunction, Cosmetic surgeries (Bariatric / Ocular / Dental). In addition to the general health screening, patients can obtain screening for Liver, Kidney, Respiratory, Cardiac, Diabetic, Endocrine-Hormonal, Cancer and Sexually Transmitted Diseases in addition to Substances and Alcohol abuses.
