The Cabinet has granted approval to take the necessary steps to enact necessary legal provisions so that the medical degrees awarded by foreign universities within No. 1 to 1000 international rankings, can be accepted in Sri Lanka.
The proposal was submitted by the President and the Minister of Health based on the report containing the recommendations of a previously appointed committee.
On May 02, the Cabinet gave its approval to appoint a committee headed by the Secretary to the Prime Minister to prepare a national policy that includes the standards and criteria to be based on the recognition of medical degree courses offered by internationally recognized universities and to make appropriate recommendations to amend the provisions of the Medical Ordinance to suit the current needs.
