The Supreme Court today upheld the Appeals Court decision calling upon the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) to register SAITM medical graduates.

The South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) is legally eligible to issue medical degrees to its students, the Court of Appeal had ruled on January 31, 2017.

The Appellate Court had also directed the Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) to give provisional registration to medical students passing out from the private medical college in Malabe.
