Director's Message             Welcome you to Family Health Bureau –National Center for Maternal and Child Heath Family Health Bureau is the central organization of the Ministry of Healthcare and Nutrition responsible for Maternal and Child Health and Family Planning programme (MCH/FP). The Family Health Bureau was established in 1968 and over the years it has strengthened its organizational structure, linkages and capacity to cater to the needs of the country. It has played a key role in expanding MCH/FP services throughout the country in particular to remote rural villages where the poorest of poor live. The achievements Sri Lanka has made in the field of Maternal and Child Health are well recognized throughout the world. Family Health Bureau since its inception has made untiring efforts towards these achievements. As the Director of the Family Health Bureau I take this opportunity to extend my gratitude to all those who contributed to those achievements with commitment, dedication and hard work. Establishment of a website is a long felt need of the Family Health Bureau and it is my great pleasure to introduce our website to those who really wish to explore much information on MCH/FP. We believe that much of our services need to be improved and expanded to address the current needs of the target populations served by the MCH/FP programme. So we invite you to visit our website and search for information you require. Acting Director, Maternal and Child Health, Dr (Ms) Chithramalee de Silva
