The Totally Independent SAITM of Malabae has too many shortcomings for a readily recognizable Medical Degree of MBBS

Private Universities for Sri Lanka,
 In Sri Lankan standards "Private Universities" is rather a contradicting terminology, particularly for Medical Degrees of MBBS, and it is for best rationalized reasons by the standard and integrity of medical education of Sri Lanka. 

The Totally Independent SAITM of Malabae has too many shortcomings for a readily recognizable Medical Degree of MBBS 

I am not against the "Private Universities", But in fact I am a strong believer, that it should be (totally) a State Affair = levying fees for providing degrees and  higher education, particularly for Professional Studies so that to maintain the Standards and Integrity to all equal for fees levying as well as for Free Education; in other words the fees levying system of providing Professional Degrees should not be left entirely with private individuals and Institutions. 
The State Universities should have Free Educating Students as well as certain Percentage of Fees Levying students according to the strict merit system, and no way the students entering the State Universities on strict merit system for Free Education, can hold the State Universities for ransom. All students should be allowed to compete each other under the same umbrella. That is, the some unfortunate students of a particular examination given another opportunity to compete with the most fortunate students, and interpreted as (only) capable and clever students who have the rights to pursue for Graduation in State Universities.

These Fees Levying sections need not be necessarily within a State University infrastructure, but strictly guided by a particular University as well as by Professional Body of the Profession to which degrees are offered.

Thus there cannot be a rule that prohibits that State Universities levy fully scaled fees for providing Degrees particularly Medical Degrees which is most sought and other professional studies, along with the students selected merit wise for a nominal fees education, which is known as Free Education towards Degrees.

The Totally Independent SAITM of Malabae has too many shortcomings for a readily recognizable Medical Degree of MBBS - below are few publicly known,

 The  person who initiated subject Forensic Medicine an important part of  Medical profession, (far  more imperative for Sri Lanka) been in series of conducts that completely shakes the foundation of the basic objectives of the subject Forensic Medicine for humanity.

1.       The students pursuing Medical Degree of MBBS at SAITM Malabae has not been taught why the subject Forensic Medicine has been included in the curriculum of fundamental Medical Science towards Humanity.

2.       The SAITM Malabae has failed to educate how to preserve the Human body parts for future forensic references as well for studies.

3.       “Forensic Reference for Future” is an important aspect of the subject Forensic Medicine towards social justice and humanity

4.       There were numerous reports of fatal Nosocomial Infections amply indicating the appalling Hygienic Conditions and poor antiseptic precautions at the Neville Fernando Hospital itself/

5.       The above giving rise to socially risking (Pseudomonas pneumoniale) infections that may challenge the Community Health overall under presently prevailing medical concerns

6.       There were frequent reports of Fees Paying Students thinking that all liberty are within their disposals and behaving unethically with patients undergoing treatmaent in the Neville Fernando Hospital.

7.       This SAITM of Malabae Medical Faculty was initiated under more of Political threat rather than guided by the Policies Sri Lanka Medical Council Guidelines

Therefore even though the superior court has ruled that the legality of the degree certificates issued is as valid, in terms of legal letters, quality knowledge of those possessing those certificates has to be re-examined for capability for the application within the State Health Care Hospitals, because it is Sri Lanka Medical Council’s sole responsibility to monitor whether those certificates issuing institutes are maintaining the standard and the integrity stipulated by the Sri Lanka Medical Council, to continue as standard Medical Course offering Institutes.  

  Therefore the Sri Lanka Medical Council shall take necessary appropriate actions before providing the provisional registration process to  those students to practice  in State Hospitals.

A responsible Government just cannot indulge individuals to initiate   a fees levying  institute or a faculty for professional degree studies, and push it neither through judicial decrees  nor through administrative chain of command decrees for the recognition of certificates by the relevant Professional Council;  instead  the Good Governing  State shall request the Professional bodies, to initiate appropriate actions towards establishing fees levying units within the existing Universities or separately so that to ensure the uniformity of the standard and integrity stipulated relevant professional studies. In other words, those who wanted to establish a fees levying medical school  shall obtain the prior approval from Medical Council by submitting a comprehensive plan, before getting the Government Sanction
