Melsta Hospitals Ragama, part of Melsta Health, recently made history when it became the only healthcare institution in the country to be accredited with an integrated management system (IMS) comprising four international standards; ISO 9001 :2015, ISO 22000:2018, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018.
In February 2020 Melstacorp PLC owned by famed business tycoon Harry Jayawardena fully acquired Browns Hospitals managed by Browns Healthcare and rebranded it to Melsta Hospitals Ragama. In such a short span of time, the Melsta Health management has been able to achieve an affordable, quality conscious and process driven culture whilst staying true to its purpose of being socially responsible, the hospital company said in a media release.
Melsta Health currently manages Joseph Fraser Memorial Hospital, a long-standing frontrunner in women’s and children-focused healthcare. Melsta Health also owns and operates Melsta Labs, a growing network of state-of-the-art laboratories with presence in the Western, Southern and Central provinces.
Dr. K. Thiyagarajah Iraivan, Executive Director- Melsta Hospitals said “Our aim is to provide comprehensive and quality healthcare on par with world-class standards at affordable rates making it easily accessible to everyone across the country. The IMS platform will now allow us to set the stage in acquiring the prestigious Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation in the near future.”
The hospital also conducted a live kidney transplant surgery to a very deserving patient completely free of charge to mark its anniversary. As a responsible and inclusive entity it has successfully reduced prices of many medical procedures including OPD, surgeries, theatre charges, and room rates.
