DFCC Bank Expands Garusaru Proposition with Islandwide Healthcare Benefits for Senior Citizens

DFCC Bank has partnered with Singhe Hospitals PLC to provide exclusive, islandwide healthcare benefits for DFCC Garusaru Senior Citizen Savings Account holders, strengthening its commitment to supporting the wellbeing, dignity, and everyday needs of Sri Lanka’s senior community.

Under this partnership, DFCC Garusaru Debit Card holders gain access to preferential rates across a wide range of essential medical services, including specialist consultations, channelling services, laboratory investigations, diagnostic imaging, and selected surgical procedures. The initiative is designed to ensure that quality healthcare remains accessible and affordable at a stage of life where medical needs are both frequent and critical.

The benefits extend across core diagnostics such as laboratory tests, X-rays, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, CT scans, and lung function assessments, alongside concessions on procedures including endoscopy and colonoscopy. Garusaru customers will also receive preferential rates on hospital room categories, including VIP, Luxury, and Supreme rooms, as well as reduced charges for inpatient and day-surgery interventions. Additional services such as discounted ambulance support and transport assistance for home visits further enhance convenience for seniors requiring mobility support.

These privileges are available across Singhe Hospitals’ extensive network, including locations in Rathnapura, Kahawatta, Kalawana, Embilipitiya, Balangoda, Bandarawela, Homagama, Awissawella, Kandy, Negombo, and Karapitiya, ensuring wide geographic access for DFCC’s senior customers.

This collaboration strengthens the Garusaru Senior Citizen Savings Account as a holistic proposition, moving beyond traditional banking benefits to address real-life priorities such as healthcare access, cost management, and peace of mind. By integrating financial security with dependable medical support, DFCC Bank continues to build propositions that respond to how customers actually live.

Commenting on the initiative, Aasiri Iddamalgoda, Senior Vice President – Retail and Business Banking at DFCC Bank, said, “Supporting our senior customers goes beyond banking convenience. Through this partnership with Singhe Hospitals, we are helping ease the cost and complexity of accessing essential healthcare, while ensuring dignity and accessibility remain central to the experience. Garusaru is designed to support our customers at a stage of life where thoughtful, practical value matters most.”

With the addition of structured healthcare privileges, the DFCC Garusaru Senior Citizen Savings Account continues to evolve as one of the Bank’s most meaningful offerings – supporting financial stability, everyday wellbeing, and a more secure and fulfilling lifestyle for senior citizens across Sri Lanka.
