 First of all I wish to express my sincere gratitude to members of Kandy Society of Medicine for placing trust on me to hold the prestigious post of the President of KSM.
Kandy society of medicine, the well established society with its traditions, now popularly referred to as KSM, had a very simple beginning. In 1963 Dr .Karunaratne, Dr .Varugunam and Mr. Rasaratnam organised, Tuesday evening talks to discuss interesting cases, which later came to be known as Tuesday talks.
These talks later shifted to Peradeniya physiology lecture theatre and was incorporated as activities of a newly formed medical society in 1964 under the name, Kandy society of medicine. Professor RS Watson was the 1st president, the 3 Doctors who started the talks became its 1st secretaries.
Up to now 39 individuals have held the office of President of the Kandy society of medicine and the society has developed in to a well established institution with a life membership of more than 600 medical officers and is currently the 2nd oldest and the 2nd largest medical association in Sri Lanka, second only to Sri Lanka Medical association.

 Ayubowan!
May you live long!
May you be blessed with long and healthy life!
Haven’t we Sri Lankan’s greeted each other, thus for generations little knowing perhaps, of the meaning of this wonderful wish?
The Kandy Society of Medicine since its inception in 1964 has contributed in its own way to the betterment of public health of our country; Through education of the medical fraternity and public at large.
The weekly Continuing Medical Education (CME) lectures and many other workshops conducted by the experts in the relevant fields, culminating in the Foundation Sessions and Annual Academic Sessions as well as the Journal of the Kandy Society of Medicine ‘Sri Lanka Journal of Medicine’ provide invaluable forum for discussion, sharing and dissipation of knowledge.
