Medicheks opens a drive-in laboratory testing centre in Colombo 05

Medicheks, a pioneer in Sri Lanka’s healthcare sector, opened a convenient drive-in
laboratory testing center at its flagship landmark at 104 Havelock Road Colombo 05. The main objective
of opening the new facility is to provide fast and easy medical testing to people in Colombo, especially
for Colombo-based office executives, as they tend to neglect their regular testing and check-ups due to
the inconvenience at current testing locations.
The new laboratory testing centre opening also demonstrates Medicheks’ desire to widen its service
portfolio beyond providing corporate and shipping medical certification and consultations and offer
convenient healthcare access to people in Colombo. To mark this special occasion, the organization
unveiled its new logo that redefines the values of Medicheks to the public.
The ceremonial opening was attended by Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Ajith Perera, Chief
Executive Officer Dr. Nimali Uduwela, along with a host of distinguished invitees and members of the
staff. Medicheks is proud of its ISO accredited state-of-the-art laboratory which assures the public of
quality laboratory testing. In addition, Medicheks provides services such as vaccinations, E.C.G., X-Ray,
ultrasound scanning, audiology unit, physiotherapy, OPD consultations, pre-employment medicals and
shipping and corporate medicals.
Well equipped with the latest technology to cater to the needs of the public, the facility strictly adheres
to international standards and has implemented stringent internal and external quality assurance
procedures to ensure the highest levels of accuracy and precision of test results. It is also manned with
academically and professionally qualified staff who can perform a wide range of laboratory
investigations necessary for patient care.
Commenting on the launch, Medicheks Chairman and Managing Director Dr. Ajith Perera said, “Since
1981, Medicheks has come a long way and I am extremely proud to witness the growth and evolution of
our organization especially after I took over the company in 2015. Investing in a state-of-the-art
