Presidential Address at the Induction Ceremony
The journey of our college dates back to 1974, when the Association of Medical Administrators was founded. In 1992, it was elevated to a professional college. The inaugural council was led by Dr. George Fernando as the first President, with Dr. Shanti Dalpatadu serving as the first Secretary. Since then, our Past Presidents have made invaluable contributions to the advancement of healthcare services in Sri Lanka.
A Legacy of Excellence
Sri Lanka performs relatively well in key health indicators compared to many developing countries in Southeast Asia, despite having a lower per capita total health expenditure. Sri Lanka’s life expectancy is around 76.61 years, higher than countries like Indonesia (68.25 years) and Myanmar (67.26 years) according to the WHO. Infant mortality in Sri Lanka is approximately 6 per 1,000 live births (FHB, 2022), significantly lower than Cambodia (20.3 per 1,000 live births) (UNICEF, 2022) and Laos (32.7 per 1,000 live births) (Laos statistics department, 2022). Maternal mortality in Sri Lanka is around 33 per 100,000 live births, while countries like the Philippines and Myanmar exceed 84.86 (Philippines statistical authority) and 198 (World bank) per 100,000 live births, respectively. These achievements are mainly due to efficient public and private health sector performance. (Read More)
