Project Peds: Sri Lanka

Integration of Resources

From the beginning, WCI has worked with the local Matara healthcare providers and administrators as well as the central Sri Lanka government to identify the primary issues affecting the pediatric population.  The identification of asthma as the primary burden and its associated spectrum of factors was originated by the local pediatricians and public health officials of Matara.  They have played and integral part in working with us to develop the “smart” solution.

In addition, WCI has partnered with two leading US pediatric hospitals (Children’s National Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh) in the early stages.  In addition, we are collaborating with Physicians for Peace, who has had years of international experience in designing and implementing medical training programs.  We recognized that these organizations would be an abundance source of intellectual capital to help drive our Medical Program.  Their insight and experience has been paramount in efficiency and value creation.  We have also realized the credibility of being associated with these longstanding institutions.  Key partnerships for WCI in Project Peds Sri Lanka include:
