Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya
MBBS, DCH, MD (Paediatrics) Consultant Paediatric Neurologist, Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children, Colombo

President, Government Medical Officers' Association (2011-Present)

Eisenhower Fellow 2012

Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya is a Consultant Paediatric Neurologist in Sri Lanka currently working at Lady Ridgeway Hospital for Children, Colombo and also the Academic Head of the Department of Paediatrics, Faculty of Medicine and Allied Sciences, University of Rajarata. In addition to his clinical obligations, as a professional and an activist, mainly in policy development, he has extended his leadership beyond his discipline to the field of healthcare in general, human resource structuring and human resource development. He has taken the initiatives of many public health problems at national level including the Chronic Kidney Disease of unknown etiology (CKDu), battle against milk powder, banning agrochemicals and promoting safe food. He is also a member of the Presidential Task Force for CKDu and recognized as a key person in the committees for safe food and milk powder issues. Acting as a trade union leader of Government Medical Officers’ Association he has made historical achievements for the welfare of the membership. He was trained both in Post Graduate Institute in Medicine, Sri Lanka and in John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, United Kingdom and started his career as the second Paediatric Neurologist in Sri Lanka in 2010. Since then, he has given leadership to extend Paediatric Neurology and Neuro-disability services beyond Colombo. In 2011, he pioneered ‘Paediatric Headache clinics’ in collaboration with World Health Organization, Sri Lanka colleges of Paediatricians and Association of Sri lankan Neurologists. In 2013, he initiated ‘Paediatric Sleep Neurology services’ in collaboration with Prof. Suresh Kotagal, Mayo clinics, Minnesota, USA. During his training at John Radcliffe Hospital, Oxford, UK (2009-2010) as a specialist registrar in pediatric neurology he took the opportunity to learn about Neuro-physiology, Neuro-disability services and supporting social welfare structures in the UK. There he learnt the concepts and practical aspects of Neuro-disability patient care services including the structure of the hospital based & community based disability care, structure of school based disability care. During this period he was also able to study the structure of social welfare in the UK, especially in relation to Neuro-disability and the structure of children with Special Educational Needs (SEN) programme in UK. While he was working as a senior registrar in pediatric neurology (2007- 2008), he made a personal representation to Hon. Minister of Education in 2007, drawing attention to Children with Special Needs (CSN). The initial Guide proposal which was conceptually similar in some elements to the SEN (children with Special Education Needs) programme in the UK emphasized the importance of tailor making to the Sri Lankan healthcare system and context. As a result, he initiated activities and a workshop was conducted with the participation of relevant stake-holders and resource agencies. His insights and experiences gained by his exposure to the SEN programme should be a valuable asset in developing an efficient CSN programme for Sri Lanka. He will be focusing on establishing ‘Special Educational Needs’ services in Sri Lanka as the next priority. He was honored with Prestigious Eisenhower fellowship in 2012 in recognition of his outstanding leadership shown in the field of health and other sectors. In 2014 he was recognized as one of the guest speakers at the UNSR regional consultation for their next thematic report on Unhealthy Foods, Non Communicable Diseases and the Right to Health which is to be presented to the UN Human Rights Council Geneva in June 2014.

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Udayi Gunawardana, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:Dr. Anuruddha Padeniya has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk  21:57, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
