Medihelp Hospital, Mount Lavinia won three Gold Awards and three Silver Awards at the National Convention on Quality and Productivity (NCQP) 2026, with all six quality improvement projects it presented receiving national recognition.


The achievement places Medihelp among Sri Lanka's leading healthcare providers in quality improvement, highlighting how staff-driven innovation continues to enhance patient care, operational efficiency, clinical quality and patient safety across the Group.


The National Convention on Quality and Productivity (NCQP), organised annually by the Sri Lanka Association for the Advancement of Quality and Productivity (SLAAQP), is Sri Lanka's premier platform for recognising organisations that achieve measurable improvements through quality management.


Medihelp's six award-winning projects addressed a range of operational and clinical challenges encountered in day-to-day healthcare delivery. Developed by multidisciplinary teams across the organisation, the initiatives focused on improving patient safety, enhancing service efficiency, strengthening clinical processes, reducing waiting times, optimising resource utilisation and delivering a better overall patient experience.


General Manager of Medihelp Hospitals Shammi Perera said the awards reflected the organisation's strong culture of continuous improvement.


"Winning three Gold Awards and three Silver Awards at NCQP 2026 is a proud achievement for Medihelp Hospitals and, more importantly, a tribute to the dedication and teamwork of our employees. Quality is not a destination; it is a culture. Every improvement, regardless of its size, reflects our commitment to providing safer, more efficient and more compassionate care for our patients," Perera said.


Medihelp said its continued investment in people, systems and innovation, together with encouraging staff to develop practical solutions and share best practices, has strengthened clinical excellence and operational performance across its growing healthcare network.
