Health Ministry to sue doctors staying abroad
Nadira Gunatilleke
The Healthcare and Nutrition Ministry will take legal action against
100 Sri Lankan doctors who are still abroad after completing their
scholarship periods.
Sources said there are several Sri Lankan doctors who stay back in
foreign countries without returning to Sri Lanka after completing their
scholarship period. They stay back and earn money serving in foreign
countries.
But it is the Sri Lankan public that spent public funds to send them
abroad on scholarships. They were sent abroad because Sri Lanka urgently
needs the services of specialized doctors.
