“Not only as a giant of Sri Lankan economy BOI Sri Lanka further extends its services through social services and charity within its grasp. There is 500,000 workforce working in the free trade zones and the majority of this are women. Therefore an awareness program regarding these diseases targeting these hard working women will be commenced with the collaboration of the employers,” said Karunarathna
