Marking a major milestone in Sri Lankan military history, over 400 medical and dental officers of the three armed forces combined to establish Sri Lanka College of Military Medicine (SLCOMM) at the inaugural general meeting convened on Friday March 18.

The SLCOMM was conceived and driven to its inception by an interim committee consisting of the respective heads of the military medical services, namely Surgeon Rear Admiral Nicholas Jayasekera, Major General S Munasinghe and Group Captain L Jayaweera. The main objectives of the college are to provide support in continuous professional development, training and networking among its members and also research, advocacy, policy formulation and resource development.
