The conference, a cornerstone of Sri Lanka’s internal medicine community, brought together over 550 of the country’s leading physicians for scientific exchange, professional networking, and collaborative engagement.
Firstdoctor is a purpose-built platform that empowers Sri Lankans to connect with licensed doctors for secure video consultations, schedule appointments, request callback services, and receive digital prescriptions through a seamless mobile application interface.
As Sri Lanka begins to embrace telehealth as a viable healthcare alternative, Firstdoctor aims to bridge the gap between accessibility and quality by putting doctors at the forefront of this transformation.
The platform’s participation at the CCP Sessions was a milestone moment in building awareness and trust within the medical fraternity.
The brand received positive recognition from both the President of the CCP and the President of the Sri Lanka Medical Council, further validating its role in shaping the future of digital health in the country.
In addition to engaging with a wide network of attending doctors, the platform also opened promising conversations with pharmaceutical partners, insurance providers, and other aligned stakeholders.
Hon. President of the SLMC, Prof. Vajira H.W. Dissanayake stated,
“Telemedicine offers us the opportunity to redefine patient care in Sri Lanka.
By integrating digital health tools into everyday practice, we empower both physicians and patients to overcome barriers of distance, time, and accessibility, so that care becomes more continuous, personal, and effective.”
Udaya Jayasundera, Chief Operating Officer of Firstdoctor, commented,
“We are honoured to be part of an event that has such significance for Sri Lanka’s medical professionals.
Firstdoctor is not here to disrupt, rather it is here to enable.
We want to empower doctors and patients alike by removing traditional barriers to access and offering a platform that supports real-time, meaningful healthcare engagement.”
The company is wholly Sri Lankan-owned and operated through a Canadian collaboration, bringing together local healthcare expertise with international technology standards and experience.
This partnership has allowed Firstdoctor to prioritize quality, compliance, and user trust from day one.
This debut marks an important step for Firstdoctor as it continues to build credibility, foster professional goodwill, and strengthen its positioning as a convenient, digital healthcare solution designed to serve the evolving needs of both patients and practitioners across Sri Lanka.
