05 Oct 2011 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

Opposition Leader Ranil Wickremesighe today warned that the assault on the Sri Lanka Medical Council Registrar Dr. N. J. Nonis and the move by the government to set up a private medical college in Malabe could create a crisis in the country’s health sector.

Addressing a public rally in Moratuwa today Mr. Wickremesighe said the Dr. Nonis was assaulted as he had voiced his opposition on the proposed private medical college.

He added that the Government Medical Association (GMOA) Chairman Dr. Anurudha Padeniya and Assistant Secretary Dr. Upul Gunsekera had also received death threats after they criticised the setting of the Malabe Medical College.

Mr. Wickremesighe said there are certain issues with regard to this Medical College. He charged that students have been registered in this college even before it is set up. In addition he said there are certain issues with regard to the medical degree that is to be awarded by this College since it is going to be a foreign degree. (Yohan Perera)
