The Sri Lanka Medical Council has question the recognition of a degree which may be offered by a Russian affiliated medical college in Sri Lanka after the institution had published advertisements calling for applications for the post of lecturers.

In a public notice the Medical Council says the Medical Ordinance does not have any provisions to recognize a medical degree that may be awarded to those trained at the institution in Sri Lanka.

“The Sri Lanka Medical Council wishes to inform the public that there is no provision in the Medical Ordinance to recognize a medical degree that may be awarded to those trained at the institution in Sri Lanka,” the registrar of the Sri Lanka Medical Council said in the public notice.

The Sri Lankan institution has reportedly sought lecturers for the campus in Sri Lanka affiliated to a leading Russian medical academy acknowledged by the World Health Organization. (JN)

I hear degrees can be bought in Russia.Govt. must do a thorough check on doctors who qualify in Russia. Some of them are only half-baked
This should be done for the sake of the patients.

An academy acknowledged by the World Health Organization(WHO) is not recognized by SL Medical Council. Very Good.

We need more doctors to treat people at affordable rates. More universities needed to produce doctors in Sri lanka.

The SLMC notice lacks clarity. Does it mean that MB,BS degree awarded by the Russian university in question is not recognised by SLMC, if the students have been coached for the degree at a local institution?

Good move in case of medical field.
We cannot take risk on playing with Human life.
But SL should bring in private colleges and universities in non-medical fields.

The local medical students in Sri Lanka must keep in mind that they are studying with the tax payers money. Why are they so selfish or utterly jealous of the children of the tax payers, when they try to get a medical education in a private medical college based in sri lanka?

Education is not to be bought but is for hard workers with a real aspiration . Sri Lanka until now had been among the very few countries in the world that provides FREE education.
