In Sri Lanka most of the Health Administrators are doctors. Sri Lanka Medical Council,the Statutory body responsible for professional conduct of doctors consists of only doctors.The General Medical Council ,the counterpart in UK has 30 % lay people.The result is disciplinary matters professional or otherwise doctors are favoured.
We did not hear any doctor being penalised when the law students hand had to be amputated.When the Anuradhapura doctor fixed cameras in ladies toilet the non medical staff had to go on strike to get the ball rolling.
