The Batticaloa Medical Association was founded in 1972 by a group of forward-thinking medical professionals who understood the need for a structured organization that could respond to the evolving medical needs of the district.
In 2005, the association initiated the publication of the Batticaloa Medical Journal. This journal has become a valuable resource for medical professionals, providing a platform for sharing research, clinical experiences, and best practices.

Through its various programs, workshops, and educational activities, the BMA has contributed significantly to improving the health of the people of Batticaloa and raising the standard of medical practice in the region.
