SUPPORT PAEDIATRIC & NEONATAL UNITS AFFECTED BY FLOODS
The Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians has launched a fund to support paediatric and neonatology units affected by the recent floods. If you wish to contribute, please proceed. Thank you for helping us strengthen child health services during this challenging time.
UNITED IN CARE: RISING ABOVE THE STORM FOR OUR CHILDREN
Sri Lanka is facing one of its most challenging moments in recent history. The recent floods, storms, and landslides have devastated communities, claimed lives, and displaced thousands. Children-always the most vulnerable in disasters-have lost homes, stability, and access to essential healthcare.
ABOUT THE COLLEGE
The Sri Lanka College of Paediatricians, which came into existence in 1996, is the glittering successor to its forerunner, the much-respected Ceylon Paediatric Association (CPA), which had been inaugurated in 1952.
The College, with all Consultant Paediatricians of the country as its members, is the premier academic non-trade union institution that is exclusively involved with optimal child healthcare.
Over the last 26 years it has gone from strength to strength and is intensely involved with continuing medical education, humanitarian projects for paediatric healthcare, collaboration with international paediatric organisations and in an advocacy role to the Government of Sri Lanka.
President's Message
It is an honour to connect with you at a significant juncture filled with both challenges and opportunities. Building on the impactful work of my predecessors, I am committed to broadening the reach of the SLCP and enhancing our efforts to serve our children and professionals even more effectively.
