The Sri Lankan Government is planning to introduce a nationwide health screening program to ensure all citizens over 40 undergo medical check-ups every one to two years.
This initiative, which aligns with the government’s long-term national health policy, aims to identify and treat non-communicable diseases early.
As part of this effort, the Health Ministry has introduced the “Suwa Udana” mobile health clinic program, offering essential medical services, screenings, and free medications to rural communities.
Deputy Minister of Health Dr. Hansaka Wijeyamuni stated that this initiative is a key step in improving public healthcare accessibility, particularly for underserved populations. (Newswire)
