“Our journey of healing began in Colombo with the launch of the country’s first private hospital to offer tertiary care services. Over the years, Nawaloka has earned international recognition for its highly skilled medical talent and world-class infrastructure that enable it to deliver clinical outcomes that compare with the best institutions in the world at an affordable cost. Our unwavering commitment to patients has been the reason behind the group’s success,” Nawaloka Hospitals, Chairman, Dr. Jayantha Dharmadasa stated.

Founded by Deshamanya H. K. Dharmadasa in 1985, Nawaloka Hospitals was built around a simple but powerful ethos: ‘Arogya Parama Laabha’ (Good health is supreme wealth). Deshamanya Dharmadasa was determined to create a legacy that would share such supreme wealth with as many Sri Lankans as possible for generations to come. 

Established as the first fully-fledged private healthcare provider in Sri Lanka to offer tertiary healthcare solutions, Nawaloka Hospitals was founded at a time when the healthcare space in the country was dominated by the state service. The hospital offered an affordable alternative to those who had previously been left to seek specialised treatment outside the country, and eventually expand this offering to all Sri Lankans.
