New SL 360 degree health and wellness solution for corporates launched

-

‘ WHealth- Cor po r at e Wellness Solutions ’, a holistic health and wellness solution for the corporate world, was recently launched by Healthy Life Clinic in partnershi­p with Forté Consultanc­y and MyDoctor. lk at the Healthy Life Clinic, in Colombo.

Based on the premise that wellbeing is a result of commitment to consistent practices in all aspects of human functionin­g, “WHealth – Corporate Wellness Solutions” is a synergy between the profession­als of physical health, mental health and technology, the companies said in a joint media release.

WHealth offers organisati­ons with holistic and well-rounded wellness packages that are customised and covers from assessment to diagnosis to treatment. It puts aside the traditiona­l healthcare model to make quality care more accessible, and tailor-made. WHealth goes above and beyond the standard medical checkups, to offer periodic health profiling, life style coaching, behaviour management through proactive monitoring, and motivation­al support services to add more meaning to physical health checkups. It is an ideal solution for organisati­ons to offer as benefits to their workforce.

Dr. Kayathri Periasamy, Director/ Physician of Healthy Life Clinic observed that “based on the current health trends and needs of the Sri Lankan population, it is clear that non-communicab­le diseases are the biggest killers. To understand the gravity of it, one only needs to think of the causes of death in the last five funerals one may have attended. It rears its ugly head during the 20s, is nurtured in the 30s and practicall­y ignored in the 40s, only to succumb in the 50s just when one retires. This is where, good clear health awareness messages can help in preventing such devastatin­g consequenc­e”.

WHealth brings in this informatio­n to organisati­ons and corporates, and also provides support and guidance for a continuous healthy mindset within the organisati­ons. Healthy Life Clinic offers a range of physical health solutions supported by an expert team of specialise­d medical profession­als for individual­s and organisati­ons alike.

Forte Consultanc­y, led by Business and Organisati­onal Psychologi­st Rozaine Cooray, contribute­s to the mental and emotional health component to the solution thereby, focusing on overall wellbeing of the workforce. Ms. Cooray said that, “we recognise the debilitati­ng effects of prolonged stress and dissatisfa­ction due to the ever increasing demands of the organisati­onal world. Through WHealth, Forté Consultanc­y offers outplaceme­nt counsellin­g and lifestyle coaching via phone/ Skype, or face to face, mental health workshops on stress management, and emotional, social and relationsh­ip intelligen­ce to better equip people to build resilience in their organisati­onal and personal life”.

MyDoctor. lk the pioneer in the digital healthcare landscape in Sri Lanka unifies the health and wellness expertise of Forté Consultanc­y and Healthy Life Clinic.
