Through the Panadol Suwa Sahana Mehewara, we aim to bring comfort and care to devotees by being there for them when they need it most. As a brand for over 60 years, Panadol is proud to stand by the people during this meaningful occasion

Panadol, the trusted pain relief partner for Sri Lankans from the 1950s, has specially developed the “Panadol Suwa Sahana Mehewara” initiative to care for devotees attending the upcoming Sacred Tooth Relic exposition at Sri Dalada Maligawa in Kandy, scheduled from 18 to 27 April.

Through this initiative, medicines will be provided to key official first aid providers at the event, along with vital infrastructure support for local health authorities.

Since devotees will be spending long hours standing in queues to pay homage to the sacred relic, this initiative has been introduced to support them in case they experience any physical strain during the wait.

In partnership with the local health service providers, Panadol is strengthening on-ground first-aid medical support by providing infrastructure for three air-conditioned mobile medical centres, aimed at offering immediate care for those in need.

To support those experiencing minor difficulties while waiting in queues, Panadol has partnered with key first aid providers—Sri Lanka Red Cross, St. John Ambulance, and the Manawa Manusath Movement—by facilitating the provision of medicines such as Panadol, Iodex, and Eno. Through this collaboration, over 325 trained first aiders will be on duty each day across the venue to ensure timely relief and care for devotees

Haleon Sri Lanka and Maldives Managing Director Chanaka Wanniarachchi added: “Through the Panadol Suwa Sahana Mehewara, we aim to bring comfort and care to devotees by being there for them when they need it most. As a brand for over 60 years, Panadol is proud to stand by the people during this meaningful occasion.”

The campaign represents the brand’s ongoing commitment to supporting community wellbeing during major gatherings and to serve Sri Lankans, with similar programs planned for the future.

For generations, Panadol has been a trusted household name in Sri Lanka, known for providing trusted pain relief – and proudly manufactured in Sri Lanka by Sri Lankans. The partnership with local health service providers and volunteer organisations during the Sacred Tooth Relic exposition deepens the brand’s dedication to the health and comfort of Sri Lankans during important cultural and religious observances.
