Also, according to the unions, there is no proper supervision  and the legal background of the intake methodology is also not clear.  The students of Malabe Medical College are educated in the College for  four years and in Russia for one year. Sri Lanka Medical Council does  not recognize this programme and the students are not allowed to undergo  clinical training in government hospitals.  However, the SAITM is building a 1000-bed hospital for the use of Malabe Private Medical College students.</blockquote>
