The Health Ministry today gave an undertaking to the Supreme Court to provide clinical training to the students of the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) at the Avissawella Base Hospital and the Kaduwela MOH.

Heath Ministry Secretary Anura Jayasekera appearing gave the undertaking when a fundamental rights petition filed by a group of SAITM students was taken up for hearing.

He said SAITM students would be provided clinical training under four sections namely forensic medicine, psychiatric medicine, public health and community medicine at the Avissawella Base Hospital and the Kaduwela MOH.

Each student will have to pay Rs.50,000 for his or her clinical training. Pursuant to the undertaking, the petitioners withdrew their application.

The Bench comprised Chief Justice K. Sripavan, Justices Sisira J.De Abrew and Anil Gooneratne. The matter was fixed to be mentioned on January 18 to consider the progress.

President’s Counsel Romesh de Silva appeared for the Petitioners while Senior State Counsel Shahida Barrie appeared for the respondents. (S.S. Selvanayagam)

    They should pay the government accordingly. Because SAITM is a profit making institution.

    I just wonder whether patients, who might be subject to diagnosis by so-called medical students from SITAM, are entitled to any payment. If not who is going to protect their rights.

    If our society wants to be developed .... education is the 1st priority that we all need to improve ... So It is the duty of the authorities to remove all the barriers that deny the education for anyone either by paid or free....

    It is high time that Govt would allow private sector to establish medical colleges with a proper regulatory system.
