Morison Ltd., a pioneer in pharma manufacturing with a solid footprint of over 60 years industry
expertise, and a subsidiary of the Hemas Group, recently unveiled its exclusive CSR platform “Suwa
Deya”, going one step beyond its purpose of “Making Premium Healthcare Affordable”.
Being an exemplary corporate citizen in the industry, Morison firmly believes in taking the high road
through uncompromised integrity across its value chain. Within this framework, Morison engages its
stakeholders through a novel approach in its pharma brand building journey. With this emerged “Suwa
Deya” the exclusive CSR platform of Morison, extending a series of meaningful and differentiated
industry related activities to give back to society. Through “Suwa Deya”, Morison aspires to touch the
lives of many by launching a spectrum of unique initiatives dedicated towards patients, employees,
general public and healthcare professionals, being its key stakeholders.
“Patient centricity” being its core footing, “Suwa Deya" commenced by acknowledging an unseen need
of patients visiting Government Hospital diabetic clinics. Realising the patients visiting the clinics arrive
early without a proper morning meal, the first initiative of Suwa Deya attempted to address this by
providing healthy breakfast snacks and beverages for such patients. Sensitive to the inconveniences
patients undergo, particularly during the prevailing economic challenges, Morison has conducted 15
such programs at multiple diabetic clinics, including Kalubowila Teaching Hospital, Balangoda Base
Hospital, Rathnapura Teaching Hospital and Negombo District General Hospital.
Taking it another step further, the “Ape Suwa Deya” initiative was launched as a distinctive extension of
Suwa Deya, to serve the Morison team and their closest family members. “Ape Suwa Deya” offers
EmpaMor (Empagliflozin 10mg & 25mg), MinMor (Metformin 500mg) and Ros-10 (Rosuvastatin 10mg),
three of Morison’s latest branded pharmaceuticals to treat Diabetes and Cardiovascular diseases, the
two most prevalent non communicable diseases in the country. Morison employees and their loved ones
who have been prescribed such products, are entitled to receive these completely free of charge on a
monthly basis throughout their employment period, ensuring they do not shoulder the economic burden
of chronic disease.
Dinesh Athapaththu, Managing Director, Morison Limited commenting on the programme said, “In
making our purpose a reality, our own team who enables it on the ground by moving on to
uncomfortable territories and getting the ball rolling during the toughest of times, comes first. Therefore,
in Suwa Deya, all of us at Morison undoubtedly deserve a special place. With that emerged “Ape Suwa
Deya”, to serve our very own team and their loved ones with our own medicine manufactured at our
own premises, completely free of charge.”
Morison aims to further develop Suwa Deya into a comprehensive CSR platform to foster hope for all its
key stakeholders with more differentiated interventions in the future, while driving the local
pharmaceutical industry to the heights it deserves.
In the recent past, Morison has come forward to progressively change the trajectory of the pharma
manufacturing industry in Sri Lanka. The recent inauguration of its second pharma manufacturing facility
at Homagama, a state-of-the-art worldclass facility built as per EU GMP specifications, was one major
milestone towards embarking on its new journey.
Being a truly Sri Lankan company, Morison takes pride in nurturing an exclusive homegrown
pharmaceutical brand which is built upon a value blend that is uniquely unparalleled. The new branded
pharma range of Morison stays true to its purpose of “Making Premium Healthcare Affordable”,
extending the best worlds of quality and price, assuredly a rare combination in the market.
