Deputy Chairman’s Message

The financial year 2024-25 stands out as a defining period for Nawaloka Hospitals PLC, marking a new era of resilience and innovation. With the steadfast guidance of our esteemed Chairman, Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa, our institution navigated through challenges with renewed focus and determination, ensuring stability and sustainable progress in a constantly evolving healthcare landscape.

Nawaloka Hospitals PLC emerged stronger from the financial adversity faced in prior years, demonstrating remarkable operational recovery and strategic foresight. Under Dr. Dharmadasa’s visionary leadership, our Board and management united to institute robust governance measures and reinvigorate our mission of delivering world-class healthcare to the people of Sri Lanka. The collective commitment of our staff, paired with clear direction from the top, enabled us to uphold the highest standards of service even as external conditions shifted, including developments in national policy and the macroeconomic environment.

During the year under review, we prioritised strategic investments in medical infrastructure and advanced technology, further elevating the quality and reach of our services. Our efforts to expand patient care through innovation, digital transformation, and continuous staff development reinforced our reputation as an industry leader. With the integration of state-of-the-art equipment and best-in-class practices, Nawaloka Hospitals PLC was able to meet the growing demands of patients, improve clinical outcomes, and ensure safety across all touchpoints.

The organisation’s financial performance also reflected positive momentum. Careful management of resources, focused cost controls, and strategic expansion initiatives contributed to a stronger balance sheet and improved profitability. This financial health has not only benefited stakeholders, but has allowed us to drive further investments in community outreach, patient education, and staff empowerment programs—all of which are vital to our long-term mission.

As the healthcare sector continues to evolve in response to changing regulatory frameworks and technological advancement, our institution remains firmly committed to supporting national health priorities alongside the Ministry of Health and other government agencies. Recognising our role as a corporate citizen, we pursue initiatives that make healthcare more accessible and affordable to every Sri Lankan, and actively seek partnerships that amplify our impact on public health outcomes.

On behalf of the Board, and with gratitude for the enduring support of Chairman Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa, I extend sincere thanks to our exceptional team of employees, our patients, partners, and shareholders. Their trust and commitment form the bedrock of our success. Together, we will continue to set new benchmarks in healthcare excellence, drive sustainable development, and empower positive change in the communities we serve. Looking forward, Nawaloka Hospitals PLC is poised for continued growth, innovative transformation, and a lasting legacy that reflects the very best of Sri Lankan healthcare.
