CCPSL was established in 2015 as a result of a series of discussions among all Chemical Pathologists. It is the major scientific and professional body for practicing Chemical Pathologists in Sri Lanka and plays a vital role in improving patient outcomes. We are in a leading position to collaborate and work with the policymakers and healthcare stake-holders to improve the status of the health care delivery in Sri Lanka.

It
is an honour and a privilege to be elected
as the 5th president of College of Chemical Pathologists of Sri
Lanka (CCPSL)
for the year 2019/2020. I thank all members in
entrusting me with this immense responsibility. The CCPSL has maintained high
standards throughout. The past presidents with their respective councils have
steered this organization to the current height to be a leading and active
academic organization in the country. With the support of the current council, I promise to maintain the good standards and add more colour during my
tenure in 2019/2020.
The
CCPSL is committed to the improvement of quality of the standards and services
of the laboratories in Sri Lanka. We will continue
to provide educational programs to our members and trainees to achieve this
aim. We hope to join in hands with all parties involved in the laboratory testing process for example
consultants, doctors, medical laboratory technologists and nurses to uplift the
quality of patient care. We have already arranged a number of programmes for
them during this year and are in the process of
arranging more educational activities.
Our
annual academic sessions will be held from 13th -15th
February 2020 in Colombo with the participation of many overseas speakers and
delegates. I am confident that members of the scientific committee will arrange
the programme that will be stimulating and educative.
We have already planned to develop national guidelines for the field of laboratory medicine and establish an online medical laboratory test database for Sri Lanka. We have taken initial steps in commencement of an annual journal for the College of Chemical Pathologists of Sri Lanka.
We hope to maintain a consistent rapport with administrative officials of Ministry of Health, with regard to development of laboratory infrastructure, policies, guidelines and re-organization of analytical services throughout the country. Another major objective is to establish and maintain collaborative work with international organizations that are related to laboratory medicine.
I
welcome your suggestions in order to improve the services and functionality of the
CCPSL.
We look forward to a productive year.
