NDB Bank marked International Women’s Day by organising the Araliya Medical Camp, a special initiative aimed at supporting women’s health and well-being. Held on March 8 at the Bank’s premises, the event gathered around 200 Araliya Women’s Account holders and provided them with essential healthcare services in collaboration with leading medical partners.

Comprehensive Healthcare Services

The Araliya Medical Camp featured free medical screenings, eye examinations, and wellness guidance, reinforcing the Bank’s commitment to empowering women.
• Ninewells Hospital conducted full medical screenings, including laboratory tests for blood sugar, cholesterol, iron levels, liver function, and kidney health. Participants also received doctor consultations for further medical advice.
• Vision Care provided eye examinations, ensuring early detection of vision issues.
• Fonterra’s Anlene brand offered adult nutrition counseling, focusing on bone health and overall wellness.
• Link Natural Products introduced its Sudantha toothpaste and provided dental awareness sessions and free check-ups.

Speaking at the event, Ishani Palliyaguru, Vice President – Wholesale Banking at NDB, highlighted the Bank’s dedication to addressing the unique needs of women. She emphasised that by providing accessible healthcare and well-being services, NDB aims to uplift women in all aspects of life.

As part of this initiative, long-standing Araliya account holders (those with accounts for over five years) were offered subsidised medical tests throughout the year, further demonstrating NDB’s commitment to women’s overall well-being beyond financial support.
