Industrial Waste Management Solutions provider, Insee Ecocycle Lanka recently took another step by extending its gratitude towards HelpAge Sri Lanka (HASL) for the second time by providing free medical, eye care and cataract surgeries to underprivileged elders at the Export Processing Zone, Katunayake.
HelpAge, the country’s oldest free medical and eye care service provider to needy elders has performed over 35,000 free cataract surgeries at the HelpAge Eye Hospital, Wellawatta.
Insee Ecocycle, Director Sanjeewa Chulakumara, Katunayake Export Processing Zone, Director Ranjan Sibera and other BOI officials were present. Around 72 medical and 52 eye screenings were conducted. Sixty six recipients received free bi-focal spectacles and one person was referred for free Cataract Surgery at HelpAge Eye Hospital.
Those suffering from Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs) were examined at the camp.
Insee Ecocycle Lanka, Director Sanjeewa Chulakumara said the company had spearheaded many environmentally responsible initiatives in the country. “Today, we are proud to build a partnership with HelpAge to support the less-privileged senior citizens through our CSR initiative.” HelpAge Executive Director Samantha Liyanawaduge said there was a marked increase in donations by commercial organisations and individuals towards the free Medical and Eye camps, conducted by HelpAge during the last 35 years.
