About Dr. Tharshanan Kathiresapillai
Dr. Tharshanan Kathiresapillai is a General Practitioner and Lifestyle Physician on MediMan who consults online by video or audio call in English, Sinhala and Tamil.
I am Dr. Tharshanan, currently a Post- Graduate trainee in Medical Administration, and a General Practitioner with around 15 years of broad clinical experience across preventive medicine, emergency care, anaesthesiology, and community health. My diverse background enables me to diagnose and manage a wide range of medical conditions with confidence, clarity, and compassion.
I began my career as a Medical Officer of Health, focusing on preventive medicine, community health, and public-health initiatives aimed at reducing disease burden and improving long-term wellness. I then served in a Base Hospital Emergency Treatment Unit, where I managed medical, surgical, trauma, accident, and allergic emergencies with rapid decision-making and hands-on expertise.

Following that, I worked as an Anaesthetist at a District General Hospital, supporting major surgeries and performing a variety of anaesthetic procedures, gaining strong experience in peri-operative care and critical-care support.
In addition to hospital roles, I have served as a General Practitioner in multiple emergency settings and outpatient clinics, including Asiri Central Hospital, and various hospitals across the country, providing frontline medical care to diverse patient populations.
I am trilingual and have practiced in different parts of the country with multicultural multi religious populations and gained recognition from the communities I have worked with. Medical ethics, Patient’s privacy and Patient Centred care are my key priorities when it comes to treating people. I always make sure to teach my patients with a humane touch, ensuring a holistic approach.
