Appoint high level legal illuminaries too after reconstituting SLMC. Deans children today have to sit ERPM and deans examine their own children. That is current SLMC justice

There must be an overall policy paper on private medical education. The SAITM issue would be a part of it -if not there would be never ending problems to the detriment of students education standards and the country. via DM Android App

We have unbiased men but they are members of some of these organisations that oppose SAITM. Further their life and limb will be at risk if their independant views supports SAITM as their views or decision will not be liked by GMOA mafia. Hold one Final exam for all Medical Colleges in Sri Lanka including SAITM and ask the foreign gradutaes who seek registration also to sit the same exam

Deans want to stop admissions to SAITM so job agencies can send abroad.

When you read the full judgement of court you can see the double standards and bias of SLMC.

Is he going to delay the court order until he gets the committee report or else appeal to the higher court until such time?
