            Kruthaguna 7.0 - ඔසු සවි

"To care for those who once care for us is one of the highest honors”


The first of a series of “ Kruthaguna “ programmes organized by Leo club of University of Colombo was successfully concluded as “osusavi” on 06th December of 2024 at Kaduwela Korathota Rajamaha Viharaya. A large number of medical students from the Faculty of Ayurvedic Medicine of University of Colombo participated in this program. They were the main help in making this program a success. The medical clinic was conducted from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.


More than 60 elderly people participated in the program, which went beyond the Western system of medicine and put the local system of medicine first. All of them had their blood pressure, cholesterol levels, etc. checked and their physical discomfort was checked and necessary treatment was done for the same. The medical staff did not forget to give them oil treatments. They were also explained about the remedies to be done for their diseases. In addition, all the adults who came to the clinic were also given a medicinal drink of “Belimal” .


University students, who are in the midst of a very busy education system, and the elderly community who are confined to their homes, were able to get rid of their monotonous lifestyle for a day. We saw the elderly community talking cordially with medical students and other Leo members. Therefore, we believe that this program was a very good program for their physical health as well as mental health.


Not only that, the opinions of the elders regarding the program were also very optimistic. They were very grateful to the medical students and leo members. Similarly, we were told that the medical advice given to them today and the Ayurvedic treatment provided at that time was very valuable. They also requested us to conduct such programs further. All of them thanked us. It is our duty as a young community to protect our older generation.
