www.mydoctor.lk has entered into a partnership with Browns Hospital, Ragama, aimed at providing innovative and better medical services.
In the modern world, an increasingly important role is played by telemedicine. MyDoctor, launched in 2012, has taken the initiative in bringing world class technology to Sri Lanka by being its premier online e-health solution provider. MyDoctor is a medical advisory service specialising in initial medical advice 24/7. In addition, their members enjoy a wide range of discounts and special offers at leading medical service providers all over the country.
Browns Hospitals, the latest venture of Brown & Company PLC, is a state of the art multi-special general hospital which is equipped with the latest medical diagnostic technology and advanced medical and therapeutic technology. Since they commenced their operations they have made a name for delivering high quality care through comprehensive, integrated clinical practice and personalised care to every patient.
The MyDoctor membership card opens the doors to many rewards. The platinum card members enjoy many discounts and other facilities for both inpatients and outpatients.
Partnering with MyDoctor opens Browns Hospital to an international clientele. Sri Lanka’s medical system is in high demand in the region, especially in countries such as Maldives, Bangladesh and Seychelles.
With a collaboration of this nature, not only does it open up more options for foreign patients, it will also lead to a potential boom in the healthcare sector due to the ease of access from outside the country. This falls into a little known term called ‘medical tourism’; a rapidly growing practice where travelling across borders is a norm for both patients and healthcare providers to obtain or provide medical assistance.
“We want to make Sri Lanka the hub for healthcare services,” said MyDoctor founder Dr. Harsha Jayakody. “Our MyDoctor platform creates a great opportunity for this as it works towards seamless integration between patients and healthcare service providers,” he added.
