The session was led by Consultant Endocrinologist at the National Hospital of Sri Lanka and President of the Diabetes Association of Sri Lanka, Dr. Manilka Sumanathilaka and renowned Endocrinologist Dr. Uditha Bulugahapitiya alongside other specialist doctors.
Sixty patients, selected for having high HbA1c levels, participated in this clinic.
