The Health Ministry had taken steps to publish a Gazette notification of minimum standards for Medical Colleges, according to sources.

The Gazette Notice would be issued in response to a condition laid down by the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA).

When inquired, the Secretary of the GMOA Dr. Nalinda Herath said the SAITM issue would be aggravated in the event of a Gazette Notice being issued ignoring the recommendations of the Medical Council.

“If the intention of the Gazette Notice was merely to protect the SAITM private medical institute in Malabe, that would intensify the protests by the medical students,” he said.

“That will also intensify trade union actions by the GMOA,” Dr. Hearth said. (Dayaseeli Liyanage)

    GMOA is worried about the people who will fall sick in the future and jeopardize the health of the current patients

    What a shame on you playing and targeting the innocent people to achieve your personnel goals?

    Enough is Enough with the GMOA Crack Pots. Time to send them to a Mental Hospital. Declare Health an Essential Service. 20 Million Sri Lankans will support the move.

    Manushya Monday, 10 April 2017 11:13 AM

    I think it is high time that the government declares the medical service a compulsory service, and sack those doctors who vialate the law of the land.

    You sick people, why don't you go home and do private practice or leave the country for good? People are fed up with your attitude.
