Message from the President
Dear Members of the Pharmaceutical Society of Sri Lanka,
It is with great honour and a deep sense of responsibility that I assume the Presidency of the Pharmaceutical Society of Sri Lanka for the year 2026/2027.
I am humbled by the trust and confidence placed in me, and I sincerely thank all members of the Society for giving me the opportunity to serve our profession. I would also like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to all our Past Presidents, whose dedication, leadership and commitment have strengthened the Pharmaceutical Society of Sri Lanka and contributed immensely to the advancement of the pharmacy profession in our country. Their achievements have provided us with a strong foundation upon which we can continue to build.
As we embark on this new chapter, our guiding theme is: “Pharmacy Beyond a Profession – Serving Humanity Through Collective Excellence.”
Our vision for 2026/2027 is to build a stronger, united and future-ready pharmacy profession by developing competent and ethical pharmacists, embracing innovation, and advancing healthcare through collective excellence.
I firmly believe that the future of pharmacy cannot be shaped by individuals alone. It requires unity, collaboration and a shared commitment from every member of our profession. Whether we serve in community pharmacies, hospitals, the pharmaceutical industry, academia, regulatory institutions, research, or other areas of healthcare, each of us has an important role to play.
During my tenure, I hope to strengthen our professional identity, encourage continuous learning and professional development, promote ethical and competent practice, embrace innovation, and create greater opportunities for collaboration among pharmacists and other healthcare professionals. Above all, I believe that our knowledge, expertise and skills should ultimately translate into better healthcare and improved outcomes for the people we serve.
I therefore invite every member of the Pharmaceutical Society of Sri Lanka to join hands with me and the Council in making this vision a reality. Let us put aside our differences, build stronger professional relationships, share our knowledge and experience, support the next generation of pharmacists, and work together towards a profession that is respected, trusted and prepared for the future.
The strength of our Society lies not only in its Council or its leadership, but in the commitment, unity and active participation of every member. Your ideas, expertise, encouragement and involvement will be invaluable as we move forward.
Together, let us demonstrate that pharmacy goes beyond a profession; it is a commitment to serving humanity.
I look forward to working with each and every one of you as we embark on this journey together.
With warm regards,
President - Pharmaceutical Society of Sri Lanka 2026/2027
