The Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) said today the controversial South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) was illegal and was established in a ‘stubborn’ manner in 2009.

PHU General Secretary MP Udaya Gammanpila said in 2011 the then Higher Education Minister issued a gazette notification granting medical-degree-awarding status to SAITM with conditions.

“SAITM has failed to prove in writing that they have fulfilled the required conditions though the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) had asked for documentary proof in March 2015. But in the absence of the required documentary proof the gazette notification has been nullified and the university has been operated illegally,” he told a news conference.

I call upon the general public to create a public fund called SATEM Establishment Fund and support the SAITEM by that fund until SAITEM get enough qualified students and become sustainable without being dependent on student’s payment in order to run the institution. That will help SAITEM to maintain its standard and grand medical degree only to qualified candidates. Anything can be destroyed easily but establishment is the most difficult one.

Looks as if this guy has slept for a couple of years and got up. Wasn't he part of the government that established SAITM? This type of guy should be removed from our country.

Flacon Monday, 06 February 2017 10:35 PM

Avisenna Monday, 06 February 2017 10:05 PM

Staff the best in the country. Some has taught & teaching in state unis. and everyone in GOMA. facilities state of the arts. UGC approved all basic science. SLMC pointed out problems Trauma. Com med all sorted. Clincal experience deprived by GMOA is copensated by problem based medicine approach. Rest can be easily sorted during internship. All new docs anywhere work under supervision. Do foundation 2 year programme as in UK. Go forward with private education and make motherland a great education centre & earn Fc not with laundering he ladies in Middle East. via DM Android App
