President
Nutrition Society of Sri Lanka (NSSL) 

It is my great pleasure to welcome you to the Nutrition Society of Sri Lanka (NSSL), a professional body dedicated to advancing the science and practice of nutrition for the betterment of public health.

At a time when nutrition plays a critical role in addressing both undernutrition and the rising burden of non-communicable diseases, our mission remains ever more important. The Society is committed to promoting evidence-based knowledge, supporting research, and strengthening capacity among professionals in the field of nutrition and health.

We actively engage with academics, practitioners, policymakers, and communities to foster collaboration and drive meaningful change. Through scientific forums, training programmes, and advocacy initiatives, we strive to contribute to national and global efforts in achieving optimal nutritional well-being for all.

As President, I am proud of the continued dedication of our members and partners who work tirelessly to uphold the standards of our profession. Together, we aim to build a healthier future through informed choices, innovative research, and sustainable nutrition practices.

I invite you to explore our work, participate in our activities, and join us in our shared commitment to improving nutrition and health outcomes in Sri Lanka and beyond.
