I was born in Colombo. Raised by this city. Educated, trained, and tested right here in Sri Lanka. I’m a family practitioner who has spent his entire career caring for communities — in clinics, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. I’ve lived, served, and stood by this country all my life — and now, I’m stepping forward to serve the city that made me who I am.
My grandfather, the late M. H. Mohamed, once held this very office before becoming the Speaker of Parliament. But to me, his legacy wasn’t just political — it was deeply personal. He showed me that public service is not about power. It’s about purpose. It’s about showing up, every single day, for the people who place their trust in you.
That belief has guided me throughout my life. I served at the war front in Jaffna during the height of the conflict — as a medical officer standing with our troops and treating the wounded. I’ve worked in military hospitals, public hospitals, and at the community level. I’ve trained hundreds of doctors, led national health reform efforts, served as President of the Sri Lanka Medical Association, and helped develop policy to strengthen primary care, palliative care, and elderly health services across the country.
