In a move that expresses confidence in Sri Lanka as a market for cutting edge nutraceutical products, Principle Healthcare UK has appointed industry veteran Elroy Fernando as their Regional Vice President for South East Asia.
Principle Healthcare commenced stand-alone operations in the country recently, having been known as a British brand catering to a wide spectrum of nutritional needs for over 3 years.
As their new Regional Vice President, Elroy Fernando counts over 20 years in the business of pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals and is credited with building the portfolio of a leading vitamin brand in Sri Lanka. “Micronutrient deficiency is a global issue with high prevalence rates predominantly being recorded from developing countries such as Sri Lanka.” says Elroy Fernando, “Principle Healthcare is committed to delivering innovative new products that enhance the well-being and provide immunity support in order to alleviate nutrition-related diseases.”
The World Bank today approved $80.5 million additional financing to help Sri Lanka access and distribute fairly COVID-19 vaccines and to strengthen the country’s vaccination system and pandemic response. This additional finance builds on the $217.56 million Sri Lanka COVID-19 Emergency Response and Pandemic Preparedness Project, which was approved in April 2020.
This new financing will help purchase vaccines to cover approximately 4 million people (18 percent of Sri Lanka’s population). In addition, it will cover the costs of deploying safe and effective vaccines to 20 percent of Sri Lanka’s population to meet the target of vaccinating at least 60 percent of its population. This additional financing will help implement the National Vaccine Deployment Plan of the Ministry of Health (MOH).
