The highlight of the event was the awarding of 25 Singithi Kiriketiyo Children’s Savings Accounts to babies born at Hemas Hospital under the Maathru programme. The event started with cutting of a cake by the children to mark World Children’s Day. This was followed by distribution of gift packs provided by HNB and Hemas Hospital and a magic show organised by the hospital. Over one thousand babies are born under the Maathru programme launched by Hemas Hospitals which offers a fixed price baby delivery package. All babies born under the Maathru programme are awarded a HNB Singithi Kiriketiyo Children’s Savings Account with an initial deposit of Rs.1,500 and additional benefits.
