War teaches you the greatest lessons of life. Growing up in Sri Lanka during the years of civil unrest taught Sriya Gopal the importance of love and humanity. Sriya, a kindergarten teacher, used to teach orphans and tend to war-affected children in Colombo.
And after marriage in 2005, she moved to the UAE and extended her a helping hand to the poor and those in distress here.
Ahalia Medical Group managing director Dr VS Gopal, as her better half, proved to be a blessing in her mission to serve others. For over a decade, Sriya is the voice of the poor and marginalised at the hospital. She has helped poor patients avail free treatment, surgery, and also conducted marriages of orphans.
"Coming from Sri Lanka, I took a few months to adjust in such a cosmopolitan city. I learned about the hospitals and the services they offered. My husband helped me throughout this phase," the group director of community services said.
Sriya had a method to learn about the healthcare industry.
"I studied all job requirements from the lower level positions to the top. It was after 10 years of service that I became the director of community services. And being in healthcare sector, I happened to face the harsh realities of life."
It was her first visits to 18 medical centres in remote areas that became fodder for new initiatives.
"At all those places, I found huge number of low-paid workers. All of them were poor and many needed specialised care but most had difficulty in communicating with doctors due to language barrier. I realised community clinics were a solution this problem."
