SWASTHA — NationalMedical Supplies MIS
A national digital health initiative connecting 2,300+ healthcare institutions across Sri Lanka — managing every pharmaceutical, laboratory item, and surgical supply from consignment to patient.
Sri Lanka's healthcare system managed pharmaceuticals, laboratory items, and surgical supplies across thousands of facilities — with no unified digital backbone. Loons Lab built it.
What We Built
SWASTHA is a national digital health initiative spearheaded by the Ministry of Health, with technical development by Loons Lab. It introduces a centralised digital platform that connects hospitals, pharmacies, laboratories, and regulatory bodies across Sri Lanka.
At its core, SWASTHA integrates supply chain management, drug and equipment traceability, and Electronic Health Records (EHR) — ensuring both patients and healthcare providers benefit from timely, accurate, and secure access to critical information.
