About Us
The IMPA, which was founded in 1929 in Sri Lanka, is the world’s oldest national organization for private medical practitioners. The other national organizations founded elsewhere are mostly academic groups, but the IMPA is a medico-political organization with academic general practice as a subsidiary concern.
