NDB Bank celebrated International Women’s Day 2026 by hosting its ‘Araliya’ Medical Camp for the second consecutive year, reinforcing its commitment to the health and empowerment of its women customers.

Held on March 8 at the NDB Head Office on Nawam Mawatha, the initiative was organised as a special tribute to long-standing ‘Araliya’ account holders. The medical camp offered a full day of health screenings, consultations, and wellness services, providing convenient access to preventive healthcare while recognising the loyalty and trust of the Bank’s female clientele.

Understanding that many women often prioritise family, career, and community over their own well-being, NDB relaunched the ‘Araliya’ Medical Camp in line with its promise of “Giving you more than you want for yourself,” encouraging customers to focus on their own health.

The programme was supported by healthcare partner Ninewells Hospital, which provided a range of complimentary laboratory tests and medical consultations. Participants underwent screenings such as Full Blood Count (FBC), Lipid Profile, Fasting Blood Sugar, HbA1C, Serum Iron tests, SGPT, and Urine analysis, along with professional medical consultations. These comprehensive services helped attendees gain valuable insights into their health and highlighted the importance of early detection and preventive care.

In addition, vision care services were available, offering eye examinations and guidance to support overall well-being and identify potential vision issues early.

NDB Bank AVP – Project Finance, Sumudu Abeygunasekara, stated that the ‘Araliya’ Medical Camp reflects the Bank’s ongoing efforts to recognise and uplift women through meaningful engagement. By combining healthcare initiatives with financial solutions, NDB continues to enhance value for its women customers while celebrating their vital contributions to families, communities, and the wider economy.
