The main aim of our team in Sri Lanka will be to ensure that not only do we continue delivering and offering higher quality and more efficient medical services, shorter lead times in healthcare processes, greater patient safety and participation and lower operation and maintenance costs, but to be an enabler of change and develop systems that will deliver healthcare solutions that can be customised to suite the individual requirements of our customers, that will also meet the changing needs of the industry and provide them with the next-generation healthcare systems that enable higher levels of integration and more functionality.
