SLMC President Prof. Carlo Fonseka Addressing a ceremony held at the BMICH in Colombo yesterday said, in July 2015, the SLMC sent a team to SAITM for an inspection and the team stated that there are grave deficiencies in training given to the SAITM medical students.
Since then, the political authorities are taking steps to fulfil the requirements pointed out by the SLMC in connection with SAITM. The solution moved to by political authorities can be acceptable to the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) with regard to the SAITM issue.
