The All Ceylon Health Services Union (ACHSU) yesterday accused the Sri Jayewardenepura hospital administration of making arrangements to enroll medical students with lower marks to be trained as doctors for a heavy fee.
ACHSU General Secretary Gamini Kumarasinghe said the rich could afford it, but the ordinary people could not pay such a huge fee.
He told The Island that the Jayawardenapura hospital director had made a statement that in addition to the opening of a bio-medical training unit, the hospital was interested in medical students’ training courses which would be a potential source of revenue.
When contacted, Sri Jayewardenepura Hospital Director, Dr. S. Gamage dismissed the allegations, levelled against him as vicious. He said being a member of the GMOA would he not take such decsions. "If the GMOA agrees with the training progrmmes, I will go ahead with it. I will never go against the GMOA. I will never make any baseless statements to tarnish the image of the hospital", Dr. Gamage said.
