Welcome
The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Kelaniya is situated in a spacious 35 acre campus at Ragama. It is one of six medical schools in Sri Lanka.
The Faculty commenced classes with the admission of 120 students in September 1991.The first batch of students completed their five year course and graduated MBBS in September 1996.
Today, the faculty has over 1000 students on its roll.This number includes several foreign students,
mainly from other South Asian countries, who have been admitted on a fee levying basis.
The Faculty also welcomes students for elective appointments and many students from medical schools in Europe, USA and Australia have spent their elective periods with us.
There is a permanent academic staff of over 90 and in addition, there are over 40 temporary academic staff and over 60 visiting staff that includes consultants who are based in the affiliated teaching hospitals.
The faculty comprises of fourteen academic departments, a Medical Education Centre, a Computer Centre, a Centre for Tropical Medicine & International Health, a Disability Studies Unit and a Molecular Medicine Unit. The computer centre is dedicated to providing computer training and has proved to be a boon to the vast majority of students who are not able to afford their own computers.
In keeping with the need to expand and improve allied health services in the country the faculty established the Disability Studies Unit in 1993 and the Centre for Tropical Medicine and International Health, which conducts courses for primary health care workers, in 1999. The Molecular Medicine Unit was established in 2003 with the aims of improving molecular diagnostic facilities for infectious diseases and providing DNA 'finger-printing'.
The Colombo North General Hospital, which is one of the busiest tertiary referral centres in the country, is the main teaching hospital. University clinical departments have wards in this hospital. Other allied teaching hospitals include, the Ragama Rehabilitation Hospital, Welisara Chest Hospital and Base Hospitals in Negombo and Gampaha
