The Hon. (Dr.) Nishantha Samaraweera
Dr. Nishantha Samaraweera raised concerns that Senior Registrars briefly posted to provide specialist services often leave soon after for overseas training, causing service disruptions. He asked the Government to increase selections for specialist training through an agreed approach with the PGIM and relevant Colleges, and to create legal and procedural pathways for Sri Lankan doctors overseas who wish to return.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Speaker, before overseas training, during the Senior Registrar period, they are briefly posted to provide specialist services but soon depart for training, disrupting services. Can the Government increase selections for specialist training and engage PGIM and the Colleges for an agreed approach? Also, many Sri Lankan doctors abroad wish to return. Can pathways be provided, resolving legal issues?
