There is no business involvement but to have more quality Doctors nothing wrong as scientists come and treat the patients and those two are two elite professions. But, Doctors depend on Scientists.

We Are Wasting By Creating New Medical Colleges Friday, 31 May 2024 07:01 PM

No profession has fooled the humanity like the doctors . Think about it , we have no cures for most of the diseases , all what the doctors do is to prescribe medicines made by “ someone else “ and manage the problems and for doing this we train them for 5 YEARS in universities. Any person with six months training can do this job . This why what we need is SCIENTISTS to take control of medicine from the DOCTORS. As long as the doctors remain in charge of medicine ,we will never have solutions to from COVID to DENGUE, from ASTHMA to DIABETES, and from ARTHRITIS to ORGAN FAILURES.

Govt.is begging for funds to run existing varsities, and wants us to believe that it can handle two more. If someone with an empty purse, dreams that he is rich, then it is fantasy. But if someone with an empty purse, believes that he is rich then he is a lunatic.

It was designed and spent for a medical institute. Why can’t it be made use for Colombo Medical institute? Wonder what’s going to happen with KDU Werarara? Looks like time to come patients may go to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh or even China the way professionals are going overseas and are running short of staff. It’s sad even present staff are giving their best keep institutes running.

Moratuwa Uni will now have a faculty of Medicine that too will help to produce more doctors. Our country must plan numbers for 75% to go overseas and 25% to remain. then problem solved. Migration should be viewed positively and catered for.

Should have kept it as a pvt company with 51 percent shares for the government or should have coupled it with nibm. At least it will generate income for the government and also strengthen pvt sector education.

What income? They have let their friends to evade taxes amounting to about 1,000 Billion Rupees. They can enforce power to collect it along with such substantial amounts waived off from their friends by state banks with the influence of the government. In that sense, free education is a peanut.

@ Suhanda Malli; Migrating doctors must be charged for their free education to allow or forfeit their properties to develop the free education introduced by Honourable C W W Kannangara.
