The GMOA has no basis for this objection so doubt the this will proceed. Fear of losing private practice monopoly is not a valid legal reason . And there is no evidence that doctors coming out of private medical collages are any worse or better than Sri Lankan medical graduates. But it is good if the GMOA tries and resolves disputes in this manner and not make poor patients suffer for their issues with strikes.

GMOA should first look into the legal background of granting permission for SAITM to use Avissawella hospital. SAITM is developing facilities at the hospital as well which benefits the citizens of Sri Lanka.

I also think that the doctors are afraid of losing their monopoly. They want the free education but like to charge for their services. How many hours they spend in the government hospital? Dr. Senaratne should should bring a legislation to check the attendance of doctors.

Majority of young doctors are leaving the country. Wealthy will travel abroad for treatment. But common people still gets services from government hospitals. Conflicts between government and GMOA will cripple government hospitals in near future. Who will care?

What medical students study at a university or at a private medical college is not an in depth scientific work but the artificial Doctor title gives the impression that they are medical experts.We should focus on scientists and mathematicians and make them the leaders in clinical medicine.

We are happy that the minister is taking a stand against these business doctors. There concern should be what they can do for the patients and not what they can get free.

These so called GMOA is a total embarrassment to our country. Their actions clearly shows the jealous and their children being sent to various countries but they do not like to see poor parents children taking their fare share of private channeling in time to come. why these morons can not raise their voices when these so called doctors do some grave malpractices.
