Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Deputy Chairperson of Committees, I rise to a point of order.
¶ 02 Madam Chairperson, my name was mentioned when I was not in the House, regarding MPs’ educational qualifications. I wish to bring to your notice the WHO definition of “medical doctors”: “Depending on the nature of the original data source may include practising physicians… or all registered physicians.” I, Kavinda Heshan Jayawardhana, graduated from Sri Ramachandra Medical College, India. I have my Medical Registration Certificate, No. 100151. My course is MBBS, and it clearly states that all persons registered under this Act are legally qualified to practise modern scientific medicine, surgery, obstetrics and gynaecology. Like all medical doctors, we receive an ID card—this is my ID.
