Our Story | About Aegis Health | Healthy Ageing Specialists Sri Lanka

Founders of Aegis Health — reimagining how Sri Lanka cares for ageing

Co-Founder's Note

We are on a mission to reimagine chronic care for our parents.

Sri Lanka has the fastest ageing population in South Asia. By 2041, one in four Sri Lankans will be over 60. Yet our healthcare system remains largely built around acute, episodic care — a system designed for injuries and infections, not for the slow, complex realities of growing older.

We saw this gap personally. Families navigating fragmented specialists. Loved ones discharged from hospital with no follow-up plan. Caregivers burning out because there was nowhere to turn for structured, continuous support. A generation of Sri Lankans who had given everything — left without the care infrastructure they deserved.

Aegis Health was built to change that. Not just as a care centre, but as an ecosystem — where specialist clinical oversight, structured daily programmes, proprietary technology and family involvement work together as one seamless experience.

This is a long-term mission. We are just getting started.

What We've Built

An ecosystem, not just a service

Every element of Aegis is designed to work together — so your loved one never falls through the gaps.

Specialist Healthy Ageing Clinic

Five specialist clinics covering healthy ageing, memory care, fall prevention, physiotherapy and nutrition — all under one roof and one medical team.

Aegis-EMR Technology Platform

Sri Lanka's first specialist senior care electronic medical records platform — giving families real-time access to vitals, medications, assessments and daily updates.

Structured Care Programmes

Day Care, Home Care and Thrive 360 — programmes that meet elders where they are, whether they need daily support, care at home, or proactive health prevention.

Family-Centred Model

We treat families as partners. Regular updates, caregiver education sessions, and transparent communication keep everyone connected to the care journey.
