Healthy Life Clinic’s new purpose-built premises in Colombo-7
Colombo’s premier medical clinic Healthy Life Clinic, is fortifying its commitment to excellence in personalised healthcare with its move to a brand new purpose-built space at No. 139, Dharmapala Mawatha, Colombo 7.
Founded in 2005, the boutique clinic has grown to specialise in personalised, comprehensive diabetes management and family medicine, in addition to a broad portfolio of diagnostic and proactive health management solutions in paediatrics, physiotherapy, mental health, geriatrics, optometric care, podiatry and nutrition.
“We are delighted to move into a new purpose-built space which will help us fortify our deep commitment to offer healthcare that is comprehensive and individualised. We are confident that our expansion to a bigger space in Colombo-7 will bolster our efforts to provide patients with the highest quality healthcare in a comfortable, safe environment,” stated Consultant Physician and Healthy Life Clinic Head Dr. Kayathri Periasamy.
With aesthetically pleasing, well-lit interiors, the boutique medical facility houses a number of capacious diagnostic and therapy spaces fitted with up to date diagnostic and treatment tools. It is also home to a well-stocked optometric corner by the regarded ‘6 by 6 Optics’ as well as to ‘Evolve Centre’; a modern, speech and language therapy and learning unit for both adults and children.
“At Healthy Life Clinic, we always promote a problem-solving, holistic approach that focuses on the person, not the disease, so that both the patients and their families can participate in a healthy and productive lifestyle.
“Our multidisciplinary team of experienced and qualified consultants and staff strive hard to create a comfortable setting where patients can meet all their healthcare requirements in one space to greatly reduce the stress and pressure that comes with the diagnosis of a chronic, non-communicable disease such as diabetes. This is one of the key factors why so many of our long-standing patients are able to lead active, fulfilled lives beyond the typical constraints of their medical conditions,” she further commented.
Healthy Life Clinic’s highly-regarded, patient-centric approach to diabetes care has successfully managed the health of numbers of patients patronising the establishment for years. The clinic’s care packages are carefully structured by expert diabetic consultants to ensure the holistic wellbeing of patients using a multidisciplinary approach in a single setting, where educating and empowering patients to take care of themselves is a prominent component.
This includes condition-focused check-ups, regular consultations with specialists in endocrinology, nutrition, ophthalmology and podiatry, treatment options, diagnostics, diabetes education and awareness as well as access to dieticians and diabetes-focused products.
Among the clinic’s several package-based offerings, is its most popular – Smart D; an annual care package for diabetes patients which includes a full screening solution, quarterly blood tests, doctor visits, regular reminders from the clinic as well as a free glucometer to monitor blood glucose levels from the comfort of home.
The clinic’s secondary area of focus, family medicine, drives a comprehensive healthcare agenda for families and individuals to help proactively maintain their health and wellbeing. Healthy Life Clinic has grown to be a staunch, experienced advocate for the necessity of a family practitioner in the life of all individuals, to help reduce the financial and mental stress of everyday healthcare while acting as a primary point of advice on treatments, referrals, diagnostics and preventive measures.
Every patient that walks into the clinic for consult will trigger the opening of a personal health record, which will be regularly updated with the patient’s family health history, lifestyle preferences, prior consultation details, mental health status. This has come to become an integral part of the diagnostics procedure at the clinic.
Additionally, Healthy Life Clinic offers a diverse scope of corporate health packages geared at taking a preventative approach to healthcare through educating and advising those working in the corporate sector; elderly care services and solutions, physiotherapy sessions, weight management solutions, investigations and diagnostic options, and optometric solutions. Patients can either walk in or call the clinic for an appointment on 11 4700 700 or +94 77 3511 511.
