President's message

Welcome to the online platform of the College of Anaesthesiologists and Intensivists of Sri Lanka (COAISL). I am honoured to serve as the 31st President of COAISL with the aim of enhancing patient care and safety of all citizens. The role of the anaesthesiologist has evolved far beyond the operating room. We are now recognized as perioperative physicians, providing comprehensive care for patients throughout their surgical journey. This platform reflects this expanded role, offering resources and fostering collaboration to ensure the highest quality of care for our patients…!
