Hemas Hospitals labs launch revolutionary medical testing

Hemas Hospitals recently launched an orbit- changing bundle of digital services to the customers of its laboratory chain including the three hospital-based labs in Wattala, Thalawathugoda and Galle, and 44 branch laboratories island wide.

These digital services include a unique web based laboratory portal, a new website – www.labs.hemashospitals.com and a SMS alert service which automatically notifies patients once their test results are ready.

“The bold strategic decisions made by the management of Hemas Hospitals by investing on latest medical diagnostic technology in all the labs, stringent quality controlling systems and international quality affiliations, an advanced Laboratory Information System (LIS) which connects all labs and an internally developed web based lab portal along with innovative futuristic thinking have enabled them to introduce this value adding package of digital health services for the first time in Sri Lanka. As a result, patients will be able to maintain their records of medical test results electronically in individually allocated virtual spaces or accounts in the laboratory portal, easily accessed and managed by them, requiring a simple registration process to ensure utmost confidentiality,” the company said in a media release.

Patients would also get the benefit of the option of entering medical test results obtained from other (non Hemas) laboratories enabling them to maintain all records in one place.

Commenting on the launch, Dr Lakith Peiris, Managing Director, Hemas Hospitals said, “This would take us one step closer to our long term vision of bringing universal healthcare of international standards to all Sri Lankans and ensuring that it is affordable.”

Chandima Cooray, Chief Digital Officer, Hemas Group said “Hemas Lab Portal is developed on ayubo.life health and wellness platform which is hosted in Microsoft Azure cloud with strict measures on security and data privacy. Apart from accessing lab reports, users will be able to access an information feed with useful health and wellness tips as well as access a host of convenient services.”
