Anuradhapura Hospital hs over 600 patients on dialysis. Patients need to come to the hospital 2/3 times a week fr dialysis -4 hrs each time. Kidney transplants are the most cost-effective management & the cure. Resource-poor country like Sri Lanka needs a good transplant program!
Visiting Anuradhapura Hospital with Spanish experts, who are leaders in organ donation & transplantation. It feels like a different world compared to Colombo. So many young patients suffering from chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are on dialysis. These lives need to be saved!
At the clinic that's like a "pola", & wondering how to handle 150+ patients before 12pm. Staff emotionally drained. Same story everyday. Disgusted by how people recorded & mass bullied a doctor on social media fr telling pts firmly at 2am to wait until their turn to be treated.
Women's health is much more than "reproductive health." A book by Dr Darshi Thoradeniya -"A Critical History of Women's Health in Modern SL" aims to find out what statistics did not say about women's health,& to explore the role women's bodies play in women's health discourse.

Honored to have won a global scholarship from the International Society of Sexual Medicine @ISSM_INFO to study at the European School of Sexual Medicine. A dream come true to share knowledge with 42 doctors from 28 countries across 6 continents. Sri Lanka represents!🇱🇰

Early detection saves lives. Proud to support the #ProactiveForYourProstate campaign, championing groundbreaking research and raising awareness of prostate cancer.
Whilst respectful of individuals’ with prostate cancer, routinely screening young men will cause generational harm through over-biopsy & over-treatment. MRI scans in young men often shows diffuse uncertain changes, triggering unnecessary needling bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
