questions on Russian degree This decision was arrived at the conclusion of discussions held with Health Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva, the Sri Lanka Medical Council and the GMOA. The Attorney-General's intervention is being sought at this juncture after several reasons were given by the GMOA among which was that the Sri Lanka Medical Council had failed to present the necessary documents to court and Health Ministry representatives had not appeared for the hearing, while the qualification obtained is alleged to be a post-graduate one. The GMOA has stated that all registrations at the Sri Lanka Medical Council would be suspended temporarily. The Sri Lanka Medical Council on the other hand has decided to seek the advice of two President's Counsel regarding this issue. The Sri Lanka Assistant Medical Officers and Registered Medical Officers Association meanwhile said it is still discussing their future course of action with regard to this controversial issue. The Supreme Court on September 23 this year, dismissed the two appeals filed by the Sri Lanka Medical Council seeking to set aside the Court of Appeal judgment directing the Council to recognize the MD degree awarded to RMOs and AMOs by the St. Petersburg State Medical Academy of Russia. |
