Sathkara, a sinhala word which translates to “Kind Treatment” is what the platform run by mymed known as “MyMed Sathkara” was built upon. The platform was created to provide treatment, funded by donations for people who are unable to afford life-saving medication due to various financial circumstances. Hence Sathkara is renowned as a messenger of hope for a better tomorrow to those in need.
With COVID-19 came a heightened need for higher donations as more financially handicapped people were left to fend for themselves. This increase had been due to the country's economic situation shutting out these people's main source of income resulting in their inability to fill in their regular prescription medication.
To fulfill its mission of saving lives, MyMed Sathkara has partnerships with multiple associations to help identify financially challenged individuals. Some being the cancer Care Association SL, Samasthalanka Kidney Patients Association, National Council for Mental Health and other related bodies. These organizations will provide verified and vetted prescriptions to ensure that all medication is received by those who truly deserve it.
Apart from individuals, hospitals in particular have also faced a massive challenge in functionality and limitations in resources Due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, MyMed Sathkara has volunteered to help hospitals by offering donations, medical equipment and the needful to combat the crisis. The donations by MyMed Sathkara were offered to Negombo District General Hospital, Homagama Base hospital and Horana Base hospital where the needs were critical. The reliability , trust and transparency that the platform “MyMed Sathkara” provides has resulted in many individuals and entities donating to these hospitals multiple times.
