Demand for Lankan doctors worldwide -PM

Medicina Alternativa chairman Dr. Geethanjana Mendis presents an award to Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne for his services to the country at the 49 th anniversary of World Congress of Integrated Medicines 2011 at the BMICH yesterday.

Doctors produced by Sri Lanka are in demand due to the high quality of medical education and training, Prime Minister D.M. Jayaratne said.

He was addressing the 49th anniversary of the World Congress of Integrated Medicines 2011 at the BMICH yesterday.

The Prime Minister said that Sri Lanka is one of the main countries offering free medical education for students and free medical service for its citizens.

"Sri Lankan doctors are preferred in other countries because of their wide knowledge and experience. The medical field in Sri Lanka developed rapidly in the past five years due to the far-sighted vision of President Mahinda Rajapaksa who has given priority for the country's health," he added.

The Prime Minister expressed his gratitude to China for introducing acupuncture to the world. "I, myself got acupuncture treatment and I must say that the results were remarkable," he said.

He said Professor Anton Jayasuriya introduced the acupuncture treatment system to Sri Lanka 40 years ago. "The treatment has been very successful. Dr. Jayasuriya's clinic alone cures over 200 patients daily. All patients are treated free of charge here," the Prime Minister said.

Deputy Minister Duminda Dissanayaka, UNP MP and Opposition Whip John Amaratunga, JVP MP Sunil Handunneththi and All Ceylon Buddhist Congress Chairman Jagath Sumathipala also participated.
