Our Story - Scrub’d By Bernards

Bringing you high-quality healthcare apparel at an affordable price

The Story behind Scrub’d

With the pandemic and emphasis on infection control, there was a sudden shift amongst Sri Lankan healthcare workers to wear healthcare apparel (scrubs) to work as opposed to regular formal work wear. This was not just more practical in comparison to wearing ties and sarees in busy hospitals/clinic settings, but was also immensely more comfortable for healthcare workers and made them more presentable to their patients.

Our co-founder, Dr. Rashmira Balasuriya was ever on the look-out for scrubs that delivered in comfort, style and quality, but the perfect trifecta could not be found. In the end she persuaded her husband, Mr. Suveksha Botejue, to manufacture her the perfect set of Scrubs. With Suveksha’s attention to detail and Dr. Rashmira’s perfectionism, the perfect set of scrubs were manufactured. Due to constant enquiries and pressure from other healthcare workers for scrubs, Dr. Rashmira and Suveksha decided to start a small-scale production of healthcare apparel, Scrub’d. With the immense support received since its’ inception, Scrub’d has now become a household name amongst healthcare workers in Sri Lanka!
