English-speaking doctors in Colombo

Where these came from

6 of the 11 come from the UK Foreign Office's travel advice. The others come from a United States embassy or consulate (3) and Korea's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (2). Some of these are listed on the UK FCDO's published list of doctors and medical facilities in Sri Lanka, where its English-speaking staff column reads "Yes". Korean embassies and consulates publish these lists for Korean citizens abroad, naming local hospitals, lawyers and interpreters and, for each, whether they can serve in Korean (and sometimes English). The embassies say they do not vouch for the providers.

All 11 sit on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.
