Past Events

PeMSAA Eve 2020

Due to recent health concerns, we decided to set an example and convert our annual Year End celebration as a virtual event.

In accordance with that decision, the Virtual Variety Entertainment organized by Peradeniya Medical School Alumni Association (PeMSAA) held on 27th December, 2020. Click the link below to watch the video and relive the occasion.
