SAITM Position in Assault of Dr.Nonis.
In a press notice SAITM refers to the assault of Dr Nonis as an "inside job".This reminds me of a hilarious yarn.
A govi rala (farmer) has a drink of toddy after a hard days work.Unfortunately he gets badly inebriated and has to be taken home by his friends.He falls asleep and gets up in the morning with a terrible hangover.He wobbles out of the bed and goes into the garden.He finds his
amude (loin cloth) on the clothes line and finds a terrible stench of faeces emanating from it and shouts Kawda do me wede kale? (Who the hell did this?)

Lokks like you don't approve of this institute. I have seen one 'debate' organized by a prominant TV channel on this but felt ashamed at the way a certain 'doctor' was attacking this private institute on that debate - he was not being objective but being very subjective about the whole matter. If you also don't approve, can you pls let us know the reasons for your position?
It started by saying that clinical training will be abroad.But changed later.
The fee is exorbitantly high.
They enrolled students before SLMC recognition and continues to do so.
They enrolled children of powerful parents with the ulterior motive of getting the parents to lobby for them.
I am not against private medical schools.GMOA has never said that they oppose private medical schools.I am a member of at least three National medical bodies incuding SLMA.I have held high offices in them.None of these bodies are against private medical education.Both my children are in the medical profession.
I am certainly glad to read that you or GMOA are not against private medical institutes. I guess then the best thing to do is to agree on a standard whereby any private institute achiving that standard can be recognized as a valid institute - same with any other profession. But unfortunately I did not see this type of common sense arguments put forward at the two debates I watched on two seperate TV channels in the last few months. The impression I (and many other general public I am sure) got was that GMOA was hellbent on not allowing any other institute to issue medical degrees taking a "holier than thou" attitude.
I hope this is not the case for the sake of not only the continuation of the profession but also progressive improvement of quality.
