History of Medicine in Sri Lanka and the Green Memorial Hospital

Historical records suggest that in 1816 Rev Warren, an American missionary, although not a Doctor, dealt with the sick utilizing his rudimentary medical knowledge in Tellipallai. Dr. Scudder was the first American doctor to come to Jaffna and ran clinics in Pandateruppu and Chavakacheri. Dr Scudder arrived in 1836 and started a clinic in Vadducottai.
