CSSL welcome 

As the president of the College of Surgeons for Sri Lanka in 2020, I am honored to invite you to participate at the 49^th Sri Lanka Surgical Congress, held in collaboration with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh and the SAARC Surgical Society. The invitation is extended to the delegates of the annual congress of the Ambrose Pare Military Surgery Forum which is incorporated into the Sri Lanka Surgical Congress.

The event features experts from the global surgical community as well as from Sri Lanka. The three day program is the ideal ground for exchange of knowledge and views as well the place for much social interaction of all surgical specialists from Sri Lanka and outside. I  look forward to welcoming you at this congress and invite you to spend time travelling and experiencing the wonders of natural Sri Lanka.

Dr Jayaindra Fernando – President elect, College of Surgeons of Sri Lanka
