The Story
Welcome to this joint page of Humedica International Lanka and TAIRIS Medical.
We are dedicated to enhancing the well-being of communities through innovative healthcare solutions. Our current initiative focuses on adding value to an existing primary healthcare clinic in Sri Lanka, utilizing cost-effective telemedicine to deliver critical ophthalmology services to the workers at Horana Tea Plantation.
We therefore envision to create a healthier tomorrow for vulnerable communities by leveraging affordable healthcare technologies, ensuring everyone has access to essential eye care services.
Our mission is to improve healthcare conditions in Sri Lanka through sustainable and accessible telemedicine solutions. By honing in on the needs of the Horana Tea Plantation workers & their families we aim to provide high-quality eye health diagnostics, treatments, health education and preventative care.
Our core values encompass:
- Frugal Innovation: Committed to developing smart, cost-effective healthcare solutions that maximize impact while minimizing costs.
- Accessibility: Ensuring that quality healthcare is within reach for all, particularly remote and underserved populations.
- Empowerment: Fostering a healthier community through education and resources that empower individuals to take charge of their eye health.
- Collaboration: Working hand-in-hand with local communities, healthcare providers, Horana plantation management and organizations to achieve sustainable healthcare improvements.
Our Project
To overcome these obstacles, the project leverages a community-based approach and telemedicine technology to establish a primary eye care clinic on-site. Emphasizing a frugal approach, our telemedicine clinic will offer:
- Remote Consultations: Connect with qualified ophthalmologists to receive expert advice without the need for travel.
- Diagnostic Services: Utilize telemedicine technology to conduct eye examinations and identify problems such as diabetic retinopathy early.
- Treatment Planning: Develop personalized care plans that can be implemented locally or through our extended partner network.
- Preventive Care: Promote awareness and education on eye health & non-communicable diseases to prevent diseases & enhance a productive life among plantation workers.
