The agreement will give the NITF’s 2.5 million members and their families access to Browns Hospitals’ state-of-the-art facilities and services at a concessionary rate. The MoU was signed by Sanath C. De Silva – Chief Executive Officer, NITF, and Charitha Jayasingha – Chief Operating Officer, Browns Hospitals. “As the cost of everything continues to rise the barrier to quality healthcare increases as well,” said Sanath C. De Silva – Chief Executive Officer, NITF. “But partnerships like this help curtail those costs and give everyone equal access to a high standard of care that may help extend their lives and give peace of mind to their loved ones. That is why we are glad that Browns Hospitals has chosen to come on board as a partner. Their patient-centric approach to healthcare and investment in the latest technologies have made them a highly reputable name in the industry in a very short time.” Commenting on this new partnership Charitha Jayasingha, Chief Operating Officer of Browns Hospitals, said, “As one of Sri Lanka’s premier healthcare providers we see it as important for the development of our nation that everyone has easy access to world class healthcare solutions. We believe that this partnership with the National Insurance Trust Fund takes us a step closer to that goal. And in the years to come we look forward to growing this partnership further for the benefit of our nation.” With the mission to participate in the social and the economic development of Sri Lanka, the National Insurance Trust Fund was established in 2006 as a statutory body to offer a unique benefit scheme and provide protection to all segments of the general insurance industry. The NITF ushered in a new era for the local insurance industry by serving all government servants through their “Agrahara” medical insurance scheme. Today, the NITF has adopted new technology that is designed to make people and organizations more knowledgeable, efficient and profitable.
