Box 271, Kynsey Road, Colombo 08, Sri Lanka Telephone : 011 2695300 E-mail : [email protected] Web site: www.comsaa.org Editing and Page Setting by Dr. B.J.C.Perera, Editor CoMSAA and Dr. Chandra Jayasuriya, Asst. Editor CoMSAA Editorial musings It is an honour, a singular privilege and certainly a great pleasure, to present this Inaugural Newsletter of The Colombo Medical School Alumni Association (CoMSAA) to our members and other interested readers. The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Colombo, also known as The Colombo Medical School, has a unique and proud history of 141 years. Up to just about a few decades ago, it was the only medical school in this resplendent isle. All medical doctors who qualified from Sri Lanka (or Ceylon, as it was then known) before 1967, simply had to be from the Colombo Medical School. In those halcyon days and for those alumni, it was not necessary to have an Alumni Association. They were an absolutely unique and exclusive lot. Quite a few of them have reached incomparable academic pinnacles of excellence and even made an indelible impact globally. However, times have changed rather rapidly over the last five decades. Many other State Medical Schools have come into existence and now there are plans to initiate and propagate private medical schools in the country as well. In addition, there are a considerable number of Sri Lankan doctors who 1 have had their medical undergraduate education in institutions abroad.
