The Faculty of Medicine, University of Jaffna, in collaboration with the Centre of Excellence for Women’s Care at the District General Hospital (DGH) Kilinochchi and the Northern Province Ministry of Health, proudly announces the successful initiation of Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) services. This landmark achievement marks the establishment of the first-ever IVF treatment facility within a state hospital in the Northern Province.
This collaborative initiative is driven by the academic and clinical expertise of the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Surgery and Community and Family Medicine at the Faculty of Medicine. The provision of vital temporary human resources for this project was made possible through the generous funding and facilitation of the Jaffna Medical Faculty Overseas Alumni (JMFOA), Canada.
The launch of these specialized services represents a monumental leap forward in provincial healthcare, democratizing access to advanced fertility treatments for couples in the region. The Faculty of Medicine extends its deepest gratitude to all collaborating partners, clinical teams, and JMFOA Canada for their unwavering support in transforming this vision into reality, and wishes the team continued success in expanding subfertility care.
