Medical students of six universities in Sri Lanka are to stage a ceaseless protest campaign against the government decision to establish two new private medical schools.
Asanga Wickremasinghe, the convener of Medical students Union said they would stage these protest campaigns from tomorrow until the government changed its decision.
Wickremasinghe said that Sri Lanka government has planned to establish two new private medical facilities at Narahenpita and Malabe with the assistance of St. Theresa Medical University in West Indies and Nizhny Novgorod Medical Academy in Russia.
The medical students pressured the education authorities to change this decision immediately as those new medical faculties would derogate the Sri Lankan MBBS degree.
The students from the medical faculties in Colombo, Peradeniya, Ruhuna, Kelaniya, Rajarata and Sri Jayewardenepura are to join together for this ceaseless protest campaign.
