“The development of the new Lanka Hospitals’ website was carried out following thorough research on how individuals search for healthcare on the internet. More than the design aspect, we concentrated on the search engine optimization functionality based on how Google would rank the website and its pages over a period of time. It is developed to support 2K resolution and is completely moved away from the regular paradigm of web design as the website will continuously evolve according to the user behavior and the trends of the international and national healthcare markets,” said Chief Information Officer of Lanka Hospitals, Ruwan Amarasekara.
