Flash Health’s groundbreaking innovation honoured on global stage

Wins Runner-Up at the World Summit Awards 2025 in Health & Wellbeing Category

In a moment of pride for Sri Lanka and a giant leap for digital healthcare innovation, Flash Health has been awarded the prestigious Runner-Up title at the World Summit Awards 2025, held in Hyderabad, India, under the Health and Wellbeing category. This recognition places Flash Health alongside some of the world’s most impactful digital solutions transforming lives and communities across the globe. At the heart of this global recognition is Flash Health’s latest innovation, the Flash Health Cashless OPD, a market-revolutionary product that is redefining access to healthcare across South Asia and beyond. The product has been applauded for its strong alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3.8, which advocates for universal health coverage, including financial risk protection, access to quality essential healthcare services and affordable medicines for all.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a universal call to action adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, aiming to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure prosperity for all by 2030. Each of the 17 goals targets specific global challenges. Goal 3.8, in particular, is focused on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all at all ages, a mission that is central to the work of Flash Health. Founded with a bold vision to democratize healthcare, Flash Health is a health-tech company headquartered in Sri Lanka, committed to making healthcare accessible, affordable, and efficient through innovative digital solutions. Since its inception, Flash Health has been on a mission to empower individuals and businesses to take control of their healthcare journey with cutting-edge, tech-enabled services. The Flash Health Cashless OPD solution is more than just an innovation, it’s a revolution in how healthcare is delivered and accessed. By enabling employees of any organization and industry to receive outpatient care without any out-of-pocket expenses, the solution removes traditional financial and logistical barriers. It is especially transformative in low to middle-income countries, where cost remains a primary deterrent to timely medical access.

“Our vision at Flash Health has always been rooted in equity, to make healthcare accessible and affordable for everyone, regardless of where they live or what they earn. The Cashless OPD is more than a product; it is a commitment to social impact and innovation. Being recognized at the World Summit Awards by the United Nations is not just an honour; it’s a call to take this solution to more communities, more countries, and ultimately, more lives.” Speaking on this milestone achievement, Arshad Ameer, Co-founder of Flash Health stated. As Flash Health continues to expand its footprint, this recognition serves as a powerful validation of the company’s impact-driven approach. By placing people and purpose at the core of innovation, Flash Health is not only shaping the future of healthcare in Sri Lanka but also contributing meaningfully to global development and social progress.
