AbouT SLAUS


Sri Lanka Association of Urological Surgeons (SLAUS) is the association for practicing urological surgeons and urology related specialities in Sri Lanka. It was incorporated in 1999. The membership at the inception was mere 15 Urologists and currently having a membership strength of 65. Its constitution resembles that of BAUS and has remained unchanged since inception.

The Association's main objective is to develop the art and science of urology practice in Sri Lanka enhancing the knowledge and skills of its members for the betterment of the patients with urological needs in the country. At present there is a fair distribution of specialists in all nine provinces of the country and all major public hospitals are manned by members although the majority is concentrated in the western province.

Over the years it has grown in stature and at present is a member country of UAA and SAUS. SLJU is its scientific publication and corresponding international journal is the JCU. SLAUS has formally adopted the EAU guidelines for local practice and from last year has embarked on certification of specialist training under the aegis of CSSL. At present active MOU exists between SLAUS and USI and BJUI for technical corporation and in the process of expanding its horizons internationally with major urological alliances worldwide.

This year marks the 25th Anniversary of the Association. To commemorate this significant milestone, year around academic and training activities are being implemented. The culmination of the celebration will be the much awaited 25th Anniversary International Urology Conference slated for November 2024 in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
