Doctors,Enginners can earn one month government salary if they work in foreign country for one day. So there is no apparent reason for them to Stay in Sri Lanka.

We should thank all the professionals,University academics who stay in government sector job for a penny salary and give their contribution to national development.

That's absolutely right. I saw in a recent TV interview at Derana TV. The Specialist doctor showed his government monthly salary slip it's only 59000/=, and he has returned Sri lanka from UK refusing an offer of Rs.1.5 million per month salary there. I think private sector laborer or driver earn a salary closer to that these days.

I'm wondering whether the fool is the government or That Doctor who refused 1.5 million per month offer.

If we take other countries situation is quite different.Patients are given utmost care , but here ,unfortunately doctors .
No one talks about billions of monies which goes to other countries for education.Even some south Asian Countries are far ahead of us in term of this issue.
No one is interested in National Issue , every one is interested in their private...........
Ultimately victims are patients

Cant agree with you more. Negligence is frequently happening and have anybody heard of a case where a medical staff found guilty. Very rare. May be they do some re-arrangments with patients records?

Instead now they are forced to think how to make ends meet. How to build a house, how to finance childrens education, health needs etc. The way things are going, wonder of asia is just a dream.

Nowadays the few remaing professionals in the country are just puppets who have to dance to the tune of politic jokers. These jokers make the policy decisions, set out priorities for their personnal gain or as part of their power game.

Besides tourism, is their any strategic planning to start new industries, to do reverse engineering on import products and produce local substitutes atleast on certain niche products?

Almost all the mega construction products now come with a foreign loan. So they comes with the attached condition of the design built, or built component being awarded to a company of the funding country. What the foreign company does is have a joint venture, sub contract the project to local Design,Engineering,Construction companies at a cheap rate. So ultimately the foreign company takes away, more than a neat 50% as profits by just being an intermediary party; and the country pays the loan and interest for a long long time.
What if the local funds like EPF be mobilised to do the funding for these projects at a suitable interest rate? Surely that would be better than crappy investments like buying shares at peaks? and more beneficial for the country. Local Engineers, construction companies are more than capable of the design built part. They just need recognition, respect, which they are not getting at the moment.

This is a very hot topic,I have seen some of our members put their ideas without knowing the depth of the situation.All post relly on the salary of a consultant,who has 11 years medical trainning. Please pay your attention to the below facts,

For MEDICAL OFFICER who has completed more than 5years trainning,
Basic -26500 LKR
OT per hour-210 LKR
Max no of hours per month 120
Max no of hours per day 4
A night oncall starts from 4.00pm-8.00am ====16hours
[ONLY ALLOW TO CLAIM FOR 4 HOURS PER DAY]



Don't think that doctors are doing a bussiness with patients,Don't under estimate doctors patiance as a timid thing,if all Drs resign from the government and do private practise they could earn above penny salary within 4 days [without on call nights]

For PMC issue,
PMC is not a bad thing,but there should be qualification requirments,supervision by gov.medical faculties etc... PMC should not like pastry shops where you can buy MEDICAL DEGREE as hot hot pastry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


SO PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE POSTING THINGS

As far as quality is controlled no matter who offers the degree, either private or public. I believe in free system. If any of us have money and capability there should be opportunities to take any degree (including medical). What can we achieve through blocking others?
