It is with deep gratitude and commitment that I assume the role of President of the Jaffna Medical Association in this promising year. The strength of our Association lies in its unity, shared vision, and unwavering dedication to improving healthcare for our community.

This year, our guiding theme is “Achieving Healthcare Excellence through Learning, Sharing, and Caring”. Healthcare excellence extends beyond clinical treatment; it includes preventive care, public health education, professional development, and region-specific innovation. Guided by this holistic approach, we have developed a comprehensive strategic roadmap focusing on seven key areas: research and innovation, health education, clinical training, rural outreach, road safety and emergency response, climate and health, and the integration of technology.
