International collaborations
The College of Community Physicians of Sri Lanka collaborates with international donor agencies, research institutions and universities to strengthen public health programmes, generate evidence and support national health priorities. These partnerships combine international expertise and funding with Sri Lankan public health leadership, government coordination and local implementation.

Tuberculosis Inventory Study
CCPSL is collaborating with the Research Institute of Tuberculosis of the Japan Anti-Tuberculosis Association to support Sri Lanka’s first large-scale tuberculosis inventory study.

It covers selected public hospitals, private healthcare institutions and laboratories across 13 districts, with findings expected to strengthen surveillance, policy and planning towards ending tuberculosis in Sri Lanka by 2035.
