Members of the Sri Lanka College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (SLCOG), including President Dr. Rukshan Fernandopulle and Secretary, Dr. Chaminda Hunukumbura visited the IRD on the 11th of February 2026.
We had a fruitful discussion on potential collaborations in new research directions and shared areas of interest. Key priorities highlighted were the need for more research on Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) and twin births, as well as the development of a comprehensive database of twin pregnancies and a national twin birth register for research and monitoring purposes.
We hope this partnership will help advance maternal and twin health research in Sri Lanka.
