    Considering the request from the humanitarian groups in the Northeastern Sri Lanka, in January of 2003 the Medical Institute for Tamils made the decision to visit these areas and provide medical services, review the current status and to advise them on future health development. With the current peace in Sri Lanka, the trip was planned and the team departed within six weeks, departing Canada on March 14th and reaching Colombo, Sri Lanka on March 16th, 2003. The team did their clinical work at Puthu Kudi Irupu Hospital. They saw several patients, and provided consultations in surgery, dentistry, internal medicine, neurology, obstetrics-gynaecology, pain management and psychiatry. A few surgical procedures were also conducted that afternoon. The Canadian Medical Team shared their medical and clinical experience with the health care professionals in the North East of Sri Lanka. A list of expertise of the visiting team is given on page 3 and 4. The members of the Canadian team are very fluent in the local language, and it shares similar cultural background, a distinct advantage for an effective exchange of the expertise.
