It is my distinct gratitude and a profound sense of responsibility that I assume the presidency of The College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka. As we celebrate 22 years at the home of Sri Lankan surgeons: the Noel & Nora Bartholomeusz Foundation, I am deeply honoured and privileged for the trust you placed in me. I am also indebted to my predecessors, whose visionary leadership has built a strong foundation upon which we can continue to advance the art and science of surgery in
My vision is to shape “Tomorrow’s Surgeon” on three core pillars: Academia, Integrity, and Accountability. We will champion simulation-based training and launch a collaborative research programme to drive innovation. We will strengthen the ethical “surgical conscience” of our trainees through cross-border learning and power skills workshops. Crucially, we will nurture our workforce with dedicated mentoring for young surgeons—because if we cultivate our garden, our surgeons will stay and serve our nation.
I invite you to join us as we build a future rooted in excellence, compassion, and resilience.
— Prof Ajith Malalasekara, President, College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka
