GMOA-SLMC play Russian roulette
The GMOA alleged that the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) had summoned a special meeting to grant recognition to a group of apothecaries who obtained a six-month Russian Diploma in medicine.

The GMOA had protested against this academic fraud and requested the Health Minister to appoint a committee to investigate the matter.

The Committee chaired by Director General of Health Services Dr. Athula Kahandaliyanage had advised the SLMC to continue the suspension already in force on the St. Petersburg State Medical Academy diploma till a formal inquiry was conducted. The GMOA yesterday requested the SLMC to refrain from taking any unilateral action as this matter had been referred to the National Council for Administration.
