Message from Head of Department of Community and Family Medicine:

The Department of Community Medicine was established at the inception of the Faculty of Medicine in 1978. The Department functioned initially at the present Siddha Department in Kaithady and then shifted to the Pathology block at the Jaffna Teaching Hospital in 1981, and later to the ground floor of the incomplete building of the F

aculty of Medicine on September 19, 1985. On completion of the construction, the Department shifted to its present location in the First floor in September 1986. With the introduction of Family Medicine into the curriculum, the name of the Department has been changed to “Department of Community and Family Medicine” (as per Gazette extraordinary No: 1711/24 of 24.06.2011)

The department experienced loss of equipment and furniture during the war years and suffered with lack of staff. Sivgnasundram continued to serve in the Department even after retirement until his last days to maintain teaching and his good practices are carried forward by Dr. N. Now the department is moving beginning to grow rapidly with many staff joining in.
