The launch of the “ Happy life” project which provides information and consultancy services pertaining to procreative health using ICT took place at the BMICH, Colombo recently under the patronage of Science and Technology Minister Tissa Vitharana.
The project is being implemented by the Sri Lanka Family Planning Association (FPA) under the guidance of the Information and Communication Technology Agency of Sri Lanka (ICTA). The services provided by this project are available on the internet (website www.happylife.lk ), SMS, e-mail, chat, skype or telephone.
A special aspect of this project is that the information and services provided are tailor-made to the requirements of the customer / inquirer, of a mother, a father, a young man or woman or whatever category into which such inquirer falls. Another specialty of the project is that while the relevant information services are provided in English, Sinhala and Tamil. The addresses and telephone numbers of the relevant Government hospitals and clinics are also available.
On this occasion Professor Vitharana stated that it was very important that a project like this using ICT had been introduced and that the contribution of ICTA towards this project was highly commendable.
FPA executive Director Gamini Wanasekera thanked ICTA for providing technical and financial support for this project through its e-society development initiative programme. He said that without the support and guidance given by ICTA this project would not have become a reality.
ICTA Chairman Professor P. W. Epasinghe also participated in the launch.
