Airtel Sri Lanka’s enterprise partnerships continue to gain domestic traction,
following the telco’s recent partnership with the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) to
provide exclusive telco solutions to the association and its 23,000-strong membership.

Through the partnership, the entire membership of the GMOA across 126 national hospitals will be

efficiency and productivity, which is inherently accepted as a crucial requirement in the field of
healthcare.
“We are grateful to the GMOA for the confidence that they have placed in our service and network by
choosing Airtel as a preferred telecommunications provider. Healthcare is one of the most essential
public services, and we therefore consider it an honour to be supporting public sector medical officers
in carrying out their duties. We also take this opportunity to reiterate Airtel’s commitment to building
on this partnership based on the unique requirements of the GMOA, and in alignment with national
priorities for the further development of healthcare services island-wide,” Airtel Sri Lanka CEO/MD,

Moving forward, he also noted that there was significant potential for further collaboration with the
GMOA, drawing on Airtel’s global tech-expertise to support the digitalization of basic healthcare
services.
