The controversial Malabe private medical college has been given only provisional recognition as it lacks a teaching hospital to train students, Higher Education Minster S.B. Dissanayake said in parliament yesterday.
Minister Dissanayake said the college, set up by the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITEM), falls short of the Universities Act as it lacks a teaching hospital. However he said the country’s largest teaching hospital was being constructed to serve the college.
