Sri Lanka Minister of Health Maithripala Sirisena says that 47 state medical centers are closed in the country due to shortage of doctors while 20,000 Sri Lankan doctors are in service in foreign countries.
The Minister invites the expatriate doctors to return to the country and provide their services to the countrymen.
Of these Sri Lankan doctors, 2,500 are in the UK, 1,500 are in Australia and 3,750 are in US, the Minister said addressing a function held in Colombo.
The vast majority of these doctors benefitted from the free education provided with the people's money, said the Minister.
