What Hemas Hospitals does

Hemas Hospitals is a privately held Sri Lankan healthcare provider founded in 2008 and operating as a subsidiary of Hemas Holdings PLC, one of Sri Lanka's diversified conglomerates. The chain runs two multi-specialty tertiary hospitals — the original Wattala facility opened in 2008 and a second facility in Thalawathugoda opened in 2013 — supported by a panel of more than 300 visiting and resident specialist consultants, a multi-modality laboratory network (clinical biochemistry, haematology, microbiology, immunology, histopathology, molecular testing), and specialty centres including the Hemas Fertility Centre at Wattala, the Renal Transplant Unit (launched September 2022), and the Adora Cosmetic Centre at Thalawathugoda.

The technology stack combines a Hospital Information System with consumer-facing digital health products: Sri Lanka's first online patient appointment tracking system (LiveTrack, launched February 2019), the Hemas Health App (launched March 2019) integrating telemedicine, online pharmacy, online laboratory portal, and tele physiotherapy, plus a proprietary Infectious Patient Transportation Chamber (IPTC) designed in-house during the COVID-19 response and currently in the patent process. The company holds multiple accreditations (ACHSI, ISO 9001, ISO 27001 / IMS, E7-EA, COVID-19 Safety Certificate) and positions itself as the First Internationally Accredited Hospital in Sri Lanka.

Revenue is generated principally through fee-for-service hospital care (inpatient and outpatient consultations, surgeries, maternity, dialysis/transplant, fertility, cosmetic), laboratory diagnostics, and a dedicated International Patients programme most concentrated in medical tourists from Seychelles (1,000+ patients over three years). A Upahara Benefit Scheme introduced for government employees in 2020 adds a B2B channel, while tertiary community programmes (Suwa Sisu, Suwadana, Deewara Diri Savi) serve a brand-and-acquisition function alongside the Hemas Academy of Healthcare, which trains nursing and allied health staff.
