This was amplified by a lively, powerful session with award-winning female entrepreneur, speaker and global Goodwill ambassador Nayomi Hadunnetti, who looked to inspire and energise. Adding to the day’s narrative were Nawaloka Hospitals Chief Medical Officer Dr. Prasadika Gunasena and Chief Nursing Officer Surangani Jayasinghe.

“As mothers, daughters and wives themselves, our female staff have continued to prioritise patient care in a remarkable display of commitment all throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we believe it is vital to appreciate and recognise the immense contribution that our female workforce has made during one of the toughest years the world has yet faced. They have bravely championed the front lines, not just the past year but every year before as well. These persevering powerhouses have helped shape Nawaloka’s healthcare practice into the exceptional service it is today and we’re hoping that they may inspire our younger generations to one day follow in their footsteps, to break stereotypes and push the boundaries of clinical excellence,” stated Nawaloka Hospitals Deputy Chairman Harshith Dharmadasa.
