Minister of Health and Mass Media Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said that when a graduate is created with the people’s tax money, the government is responsible for his future. He further said that the Sri Lankan government also has the responsibility of taking the profession to the international level, both in the public and private sectors, and that while producing the medical professionals needed by the country within the country, discussions are currently being held and plans are being made to send health professionals, including medical professionals, abroad.
The Minister expressed these views while participating in the awarding of recruitment letters to 85 graduates for the Supplementary Paramedical Service courses this morning (28).
Here, 85 people were recruited, 74 for the position of Radiologist and 11 for the position of Audiologist Technician, and they are scheduled to undergo a six-month training course at the Kalutara National Institute of Health, government hospitals and health institutions.
