In 2021, it served 110,871 and 135,072 individuals on an out-patient and in-patient basis respectively. In addition to THA, clinical training conducts at Teaching Hospital Polonnaruwa as the second affiliated teaching hospital.

The extensive community practice area of the faculty including Medical Officer of Health (MOH) areas of Nuwaragampalatha Central (NPC), Nuwaragampalatha East (NPE), Thalawa, and Mihinthale consists of a socio-economically diverse population that enables comprehensive primary and preventive care training for the undergraduates.

Clerkship programmes conducted in public health:

This is one of the main field-based teaching/training programmes in public health for medical undergraduates. This training is conducted as rotational appointments for fourth-year medical undergraduates.

The public health system in Sri Lanka has substantially contributed to the exemplary achievements in the Sri Lankan health indicators and the clerkship training programme provides a comprehensive overview of the public health system in the country. 

The programme includes field visits to,

  • meet and discuss with different public health professionals in the public health system at grass-root, divisional and regional levels,
  • observe public health service provisions via a diverse set of clinics targeted at different population groups, and
  • observe institutes providing services of public health significance (e.g. water treatment plant, care for children with special needs, elderly care, etc.).
