A message from the President
It is my privilege to welcome you to the Sri Lanka Nurses Association. Since 1943, SLNA has represented and supported nurses who serve communities across our country with knowledge, skill, compassion, and professional integrity — and our commitment today remains the same: to strengthen nursing through continuing professional development, advocacy for the welfare and rights of nurses, and the promotion of high standards in education, ethical practice, and patient care.
Today, SLNA brings together a growing community of over 10,000 members, and as a proud member of the International Council of Nurses, we connect that community to a worldwide network of over 140 national nursing associations. As we carry forward more than eight decades of service, I warmly invite you — whether newly registered or a long-serving member — to take part in our continuing professional development programmes and national events, and to help us build a confident, respected, and future-ready nursing profession for Sri Lanka.
Mr. W. A. Keerthirathne
President, Sri Lanka Nurses Association
