Issuing a statement earlier today (31), Dr.Neville Fernando responded to the stance taken by the Government Medical Officers’ Association (GMOA) on the ruling of the government to abolish the shareholding and management structure of the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine.

Dr.Neville Fernando also stated that he is pleased that the right to receive an education within Sri Lanka was protected and that all rumours surrounding the incident were dispelled.
