Bridging the Future of Emergency Medicine Across Sri Lanka

About AAC 2025

Inspire, Strengthen, and Transform

The Sri Lanka College of Emergency Physicians (SLCEP) proudly presents its Annual Academic Congress 2025—a dynamic two-day conference held in Colombo that brings together a distinguished panel of international guest experts and local professionals. Focused on the latest developments, innovations, and critical challenges in Emergency Medicine, the congress provides a rich platform for academic exchange, clinical insight, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

This year’s theme draws inspiration from the iconic Nine Arch Bridge, a symbol of strength and connection. Just as the bridge links diverse landscapes across Sri Lanka’s provinces, the congress aims to unite emergency care providers from every corner of the country. By celebrating Sri Lanka’s rich cultural and geographic diversity—through regional landmarks and shared experiences—we emphasise the importance of building connections, fostering innovation, and working together to transform emergency healthcare delivery. Each province contributes its unique strengths, and together, we form a powerful, unified network committed to advancing the future of Emergency Medicine in Sri Lanka.
