The Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) will obtain clarification for the contradiction that exists between the KDU Act passed in Parliament and the Supreme Court judgement given on the SAITM issue, GMOA Secretary Dr. Haritha Aluthge said.
Addressing a press conference held at the GMOA headquarters in Colombo yesterday, he said that all anti-SAITM organisations will be called for a meeting today (26). In addition, the GMOA will inform the President and all relevant authorities of the existing situation, in writing. The GMOA will request the President for an appointment for a discussion.
The Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) will also be informed in writing about the existing situation and the GMOA will request the SLMC to continue the fight to protect the standard of medical education. The GMOA will fully support the SLMC in this regard, Dr. Aluthge said.
The people will be educated on the issue and trade union action will be taken by the GMOA to defeat the Health Minister’s efforts to create low-quality doctors by destroying the SLMC, Dr. Aluthge said.
