இலங்கை மருத்துவ சங்கத்தின் (SLMA) 132வது தலைவராக டொக்டர் மணில்க சுமனதிலக கடமைகளை பொறுப்பேற்றார்

இலங்கையின் பழமையான மற்றும் முதன்மையான வைத்தியர்களுக்கான தொழில்முறை அமைப்பான இலங்கை மருத்துவ சங்கத்தின் (SLMA) 132வது தலைவராக டொக்டர் மணில்க சுமனதிலக பதவியேற்றார். இதற்கான பதவியேற்பு விழா கொழும்பு சங்ரி-லா ஹோட்டலில் நடைபெற்றது.

இந்நிகழ்வில் அறங்காவலர்கள், முன்னாள் தலைவர்கள், சபை உறுப்பினர்கள், SLMA உறுப்பினர்கள், தொழில்முறை கல்லூரிகள் மற்றும் சங்கங்களின் பிரதிநிதிகள், பல்கலைக்கழகங்கள், சுகாதார அமைச்சின் உயர் அதிகாரிகள், ஐநா முகவர் நிலையங்கள், அபிவிருத்தி பங்காளிகளின் பிரதிநிதிகள், ஊடகவியலாளர்கள் எனப் பலரும் கலந்து கொண்டனர்5.

தேசத்தின் ஆரோக்கியத்திற்கான தொலைநோக்கு பார்வை
“உள்ளூர் மற்றும் உலகளாவிய கூட்டாண்மை மூலம் தேசத்தின் ஆரோக்கியம்” என்ற தலைப்பில் தனது தலைமை உரையை நிகழ்த்திய டொக்டர் சுமனதிலக, தனது தலைமையின் கீழ் SLMA முன்னெடுக்கவுள்ள முக்கிய விடயங்களை வலியுறுத்தினார்6:

• முழுமையான ஆரோக்கியம்: உள்ளூர் மற்றும் உலகளாவிய கூட்டாண்மைகளைப் பயன்படுத்தி ஒவ்வொரு இலங்கையருக்கும் முழுமையான ஆரோக்கியம் மற்றும் நலனை அடைவதில் உறுதியான அர்ப்பணிப்புடன் செயல்படுதல்.

• நோயாளி மையப்படுத்தப்பட்ட பராமரிப்பு: நீரிழிவு மற்றும் இருதய நோய்கள் போன்ற தொற்றா நோய்களைத் (NCDs) தடுப்பதில் அதிக கவனம் செலுத்துதல்.

• தடுப்புக்கு முன்னுரிமை: குணப்படுத்தும் சிகிச்சைகளுக்காக மில்லியன் கணக்கில் செலவு செய்வதை விட, ஆரம்பகால தடுப்பு நடவடிக்கைகளுக்கு முன்னுரிமை அளிப்பதன் மூலம் நிலையான சுகாதார விளைவுகளை உறுதி செய்தல்.

• ஆண்களின் ஆரோக்கியம்: தேசிய சுகாதார கொள்கைகளில் பெரும்பாலும் புறக்கணிக்கப்படும் ஆண்களின் ஆரோக்கியம் குறித்து விழிப்புணர்வு மற்றும் கவனம் செலுத்துதல்.

• மருத்துவப் பயிற்சி: பல்வேறு மருத்துவத் துறைகளுக்கிடையிலான ஒன்றையொன்று சார்ந்திருக்கும் தன்மையைப் பயன்படுத்தி மருத்துவப் பயிற்சியை வலுப்படுத்துதல்.

• நெறிமுறை மற்றும் மனிதாபிமானம்: நெறிமுறை சார்ந்த நடைமுறை மற்றும் மனிதாபிமானம் ஆகிய அடிப்படைக் கொள்கைகளில் ஆழமாக வேரூன்றிய மருத்துவத் தொழிலை வளர்த்தெடுத்தல்.

ஒரு கூட்டு அழைப்பு
டொக்டர் சுமனதிலக அரசாங்கம், அரச சார்பற்ற நிறுவனங்கள், தொழில்முறை அமைப்புகள் மற்றும் ஊடகங்களை இலங்கை மருத்துவ சங்கத்துடன் (SLMA) கைகோர்க்குமாறு அழைப்பு விடுத்தார். ஒவ்வொரு இலங்கையருக்கும் முழுமையான ஆரோக்கியம் மற்றும் நல்வாழ்வை அடைவதற்கான சவாலான ஆனால் பயனுள்ள பாதையில் பயணிக்க அனைத்து பங்குதாரர்களும் ஒன்றிணைய வேண்டும் என அவர் வலியுறுத்தினார்.

ශ්‍රී ලංකා වෛද්‍ය සංගමයේ Sri Lanka Medical Association 132 වන සභාපතිවරයා ලෙසවිශේෂඥ වෛද්‍ය මනිල්ක සුමනතිලක මහතා වැඩ භාර ගනී

මෙරට වෛද්‍යවරුන් සඳහා වන පැරණිතම සහ ප්‍රමුඛතම වෘත්තීය ආයතනය වන ශ්‍රී ලංකා වෛද්‍ය සංගමයේ 132 වන සභාපතිවරයා ලෙස විශේෂඥ වෛද්‍ය මනිල්ක සුමනතිලක මහතා සිය ධුරයේ වැඩ භාර ගත්තේය. මෙම පත්වීම් උත්සවය සම්භාවනීය අමුත්තන් රැසකගේ සහභාගිත්වයෙන් කොළඹ ෂැන්ග්‍රිලා හෝටලයේදී පැවැත්විණි.

“දේශීය සහ ගෝලීය හවුල්කාරිත්වයන් තුළින් ජාතියේ යහපැවැත්ම” තේමාව යටතේ සිය විශේෂ දේශනය පැවැත්වූ එතුමා, දේශීය සහ ගෝලීය හවුල්කාරිත්වයන් උපයෝගී කරගනිමින්, සෑම ශ්‍රී ලාංකිකයෙකුටම සමස්ථ සෞඛ්‍යය සහ යහපැවැත්ම සාක්ෂාත් කර ගැනීම සඳහා සිය සංගමය මෙහෙයවන බව අවධාරණය කළේය. දියවැඩියාව සහ හෘද රෝග වැනි බෝ නොවන රෝග වැළැක්වීම කෙරෙහි අවධානය යොමු කරමින්, රෝගී කේන්ද්‍රීය සත්කාරයක් කරා යොමුවීම ජාතික අවශ්‍යතාවයක් බව එතුමා සදහන් කළේය. සුව කිරීමේ ප්‍රතිකාර සඳහා මිලියන ගණනක් වියදම් කිරීමට වඩා රෝග වැළැක්වීමට ප්‍රමුඛත්වය දීමෙන්, ජාතියට වඩාත් තිරසාර හා ඵලදායී සෞඛ්‍ය ප්‍රතිඵල ලගා කරගත හැකි බවද එතුමා ප්‍රකාශ කළේය.
ජාතික සෞඛ්‍ය ප්‍රතිපත්ති සහ උපාය මාර්ග සංවර්ධනය කිරීමේදී නිතර අවධානයට ලක් නොවෙන පුරුෂයන්ගේ සෞඛ්‍ය ආශ්‍රිත ගැටළු පිළිබද අවධානය යොමුකිරීමේ වැදගත්කම සම්බන්ධයෙන්ද එතුමා සිය දේශනයේදී කරුණු ඉදිරිපත් කරන ලදී. විවිධ විෂයයන් අතර අන්තර් සම්බන්ධතා උපයෝගී කර ගනිමින් වෛද්‍ය පුහුණුව ශක්තිමත් කිරීමේ අවශ්‍යතාවය ඔහු අවධාරණය කළේය. ඔහුගේ දැක්ම වන්නේ ආචාර ධර්ම භාවිතයේ සහ මානුෂීයවාදයේ මූලික මූලධර්මවල ගැඹුරින් මුල් බැසගත් වෛද්‍ය වෘත්තියක් මෙරට තුල ස්ථාපනය කිරීම කාලින අවශ්‍යතාවයක් බවයි.

ඉහත ඉලක්කයන් සාක්ෂාත් කරගැනීම උදෙසා වෛද්‍ය සුමනතිලක මහතා ජාතික මට්ටමේ ක්‍රියාකාරී සැලැස්මක් සඳහා කැඳවීමක් නිකුත් කරමින්, රජයට, රාජ්‍ය නොවන සංවිධානවලට, වෘත්තීය සංවිධානවලට සහ මාධ්‍යයට ශ්‍රී ලංකා වෛද්‍ය සංගමය (SLMA) සමඟ එක්ව කටයුතු කිරීමට ආරාධනා කරන ලදී. සෑම ශ්‍රී ලාංකිකයෙකුටම පරිපුර්ණ සෞඛ්‍යය සහ යහපැවැත්ම සාක්ෂාත් කර ගැනීම සඳහා මෙම අභියෝගාත්මක නමුත් ප්‍රතිලාභදායක ගමනේ කොටස්කරුවන් වන ලෙසද එතුමා සියලු පාර්ශවකරුවන්ගෙන් ඉල්ලා සිටියේය.
