Highways and Higher Education Minister Lakshman Kiriella yesterday said seven out of eight Medical Faculty Deans, had agreed with him for a Private Public Partnership (PPP) to run the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) in Malabe.

The Minister told the Daily Mirror that a discussion was held in this regard on Thursday and Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe also attended the meeting.

Minister Kiriella said a model would be worked out for such partnerships to attract private sector investment in the Higher Education Sector in Sri Lanka. (Lahiru Pothmulla)

Mr. Minister you could even discuss this matter with your bunch of 'consultants'. Also remember some of these deans have direct and indirect links with SITAM
