COLOMBO, SRI LANKA, July 12, 2025: EzeRx, a leading innovator in accessible healthcare technology, proudly announces its successful participation in the "Nourishing South Asia Regional Conference on Reducing Anaemia in Adolescent Girls and Women in South Asia," organized by SAARC, UNICEF, and the World Health Organisation (WHO). Held from July 9-11, 2025, at Cinnamon Lakeside Colombo, Sri Lanka, this pivotal 3-day international gathering united public health leaders, innovators, and changemakers to address the critical challenge of anemia in the region.
EzeRx was represented by its Founder & CEO, Mr. Partha Pratim Das Mahapatra, and Product Manager, Mr. Sudhachandan Bangal. They showcased the transformative capabilities of EzeCheck, EzeRx's cutting-edge non-invasive, IoT-enabled hemoglobin screening device. The device garnered significant attention for its potential to revolutionize anemia detection and management, particularly in underserved and remote communities across South Asia.
The conference provided a vital platform to discuss the multifaceted causes of anemia, including nutritional deficiencies (iron and micronutrients), non-nutritional factors (malaria, fluorosis, lead exposure, hemoglobinopathies), and the growing challenges posed by climate and conflict. EzeRx's participation underscored how innovative health technologies can play a crucial role in mitigating these widespread issues.
"Our presence at the Nourishing South Asia Conference was incredibly inspiring and validating," stated Mr. Partha Pratim Das Mahapatra, Founder & CEO of EzeRx. "We engaged with a diverse range of stakeholders, from policymakers and researchers to public health experts, all committed to a shared vision of an anemia-free South Asia. Showcasing EzeCheck on this international stage reinforced our belief that innovative, accessible solutions are key to accelerating public health outcomes."
A highlight of the conference was the demonstration of EzeCheck's simple, non-invasive operation – providing instant hemoglobin results with just a touch and a scan, eliminating the need for blood samples. The overwhelmingly positive response included notable interest from Chris Elias, President of Global Development at the Gates Foundation, who personally tested with EzeCheck, an immense honor and validation for the EzeRx team.
Key takeaways for EzeRx from the conference include:
