Dr. P. R. Anthonis – surgeon extraordinaire

The cremation of the late Dr. P. R. Anthonis took place last evening at the Kanatte Cemetery, Borella, in the presence of a large and distinguished gathering comprising family, relatives, friends, colleague in the medical fraternity and hundreds of grateful patients.

The eminent surgeon, Deshamanya Dr. P. R. Anthonis, passed away on Thursday, aged 99. Professionally engaged until very recently, he was regarded as the oldest active medical practitioner in South Asia.

Dr. Anthonis was born on January 11, 1911. He studied at St. Peter’s College, Bambalapitiya, where he proved an outstanding scholar, carrying away almost all the class prizes at the school’s annual prize-giving.

In 1930, he entered the Colombo Medical College, where he continued to shine as a scholar. He topped his batch in almost all subjects, winning the Loos Gold Medal for Pathology, the Mathew Gold Medal for Forensic Medicine, and the Rockwood Gold Medal for Surgery.

On passing out from the Medical College in 1936, Dr. Anthonis took up an appointment as a medical officer in the public service.

In 1945, he proceeded to Britain to continue his medical studies at the Royal College of Surgeons, where he set a record by passing both his primary and final examinations at the first sitting. He was the youngest Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons at the time.

On his return to Sri Lanka, in 1947, Dr. Anthonis resumed his medical career, working at the Colombo General Hospital. A devout Buddhist, Dr Anthonis was a member of the board of governors of the Young Men’s Buddhist Association (YMBA).

Post Funeral

We are grateful to the over 200 who braved the weather to attend her funeral and fully understand the inability of others who called later and who were unaware of her demise and unable to join to pay their last respects. Given that she died a little after Noon on Saturday and the funeral was on Sunday morning; the participation was remarkable and obviously indicative of the communities love and esteem for her.

We also thank all those who have called, emailed and contacted us from near and far.
