President's Message

The Peradeniya Medical School Alumni Association (PeMSAA) was established in 1992 as the first alumni association of a medical school in Sri Lanka. The idea for its creation was initiated by a few members of the first undergraduate batch. What began as a modest organization has now grown into a global network, with chapters in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and Bhutan. The Faculty of Medicine at Peradeniya, which has been in existence for over 63 years, has produced numerous alumni who are now serving in various parts of the world, contributing significantly to the well-being of humanity.

I am very proud and humbled to be elected as President of such an esteemed organization. It is with great humility and honor that I accept the role of the 17th President of PeMSAA for the next two years. I take this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to my predecessors and their councils for their outstanding contributions to bring PeMSAA to what it is today. Their vision and dedication have taken PeMSAA from strength to strength. I am pleased to announce that both the council and the broader membership have pledged their unwavering support, and I look forward to working alongside them to elevate PeMSAA to even greater heights.
