Extremely poor services, I would give zero stars if I could. They are supposed to open at 9am but the clerks never seem to come to work on time. The security makes you wait outside the gate for hours and when you finally get the chance to go inside, they are extremely rude to you, especially if you are a foreign medical graduate. It's very disappointing how they treat medical students/doctors like animals in this place. I almost don't want to work in Sri Lanka as a doctor because I don't want to deal with this unprofessional institution ever again in my life

Worst ever medical council! I don't usually put negative reviews in google but these guys have been really pathetic! Just ruins lives of many young ppl for not holding exams on time and postponing exams without a proper reason

just called the SLMC to ask a few questions about the medical degree and it was the most hateful customer service... the quality of service was impeccably rude and ignorant.

Tried to get information about renewal of medical registration. Wanted to know whether we can send it by registered mails saving precious time from other end of the country. Phone rings no one answers. Typical developing world. Never think I may have to drive a car , take full day or 2 holidays. Total loss for the country, think about 20000 or 30000 Drs doing the same. We are nowhere near developed world.

This is one of the worst places I had to deal with. The receptionists are very arrogant and they do not pick up the phone or read emails l. They also miss documents including payment slips. The registration renewal process is very laid back( I have never used bank drafts in my life except for this)I had to pay my registration fees multiple times ( as they keep on loosing my payment slips) and yet they have not finalised my registration renewal. The staff need a good training regarding communication and customer service. Message for receptionists- you don't need to be arrogant just because you are working in the medical board. All health professionals are there to provide a service to people and you need to do a better job not to waste their time. And treat all healthcare workers equally.

Horrible People! Typical Public Sector people. Prof Carlo has no say here, its all backed up by political parties (JVP)

The worst service I have ever experienced . Front office ladies behave like that they are the owners of the SLMC. When people asking details about their regarding matters , they jump on to the face and behave like devil and talking in very bad unprofessional manner. Worst government service providers.

I have been constanly ringing to their hotline for nearly half a day from overseas. No one responds. Once a lady picked up the phone and put down the phone after few seconds of silence. I hope she could not understand what I said. Pls employee someone who is keen about english as well. And pls ask them to pick tye phone and direct it to someone atleast who can address the issues.

Proffesional hatred at its best. If you're an IMG don't register here. Just stay where you are or look for other alternatives. If you want to do erpm you will be in world of pain. The passing rate is ridiculously low and the most important thing is that these people will postpone exams. Its absolutely waste of time and money.

The best place to waste your precious time. Make sure to book your holidays/ vacation before paying a visit😤

I tried more than ten times contact them but they didn't answer my phone calls. Very bad service.

Phone rings no one answer 🙁😡

After 2 years has become even worse, pawns of GMOA(The most corrupt Union in Sri Lanka).. Time to disband these clowns and make multiple councils to protect Sri Lankan Health Services.

Best place to get your time wasted.

WORST PLACE EVER. WHO EVER LADY CALLED THE "ACCOUNTANT" IS SUCH AN INEFFICIENT LAZY woman. she don't know how to respond to a call. She can't even reply to a mail. YOU should never bother them calling your matters related to SLMC , because they are spending a leisure time in office hours. HELLS are waiting for you lazy ladiesss....

Inefficient. Issues tipexed registraton certificates. Takes months to correct their own mistakes. Almost never answered office phone.

Went to verify a medical certificate to be submitted for foreign ministry for attestation. Went on Tuesday at 10am. Got it done in two minutes! The staff starting from the security person to the front office lady very very helpful. Make sure to pay the Rs. 500 to a Boc branch and take the slip with you. The account number is mentioned in other reviews.

They don't pickup calls. Then why did they mention their contact number? To irritate us?

The receptionist is exceptional, going beyond her duty to help the clients. Only shortcoming may be the web page could give a detailed explanation on how to get things done and the processes involved. Or a YouTube channel explaining each process. If possible arrange some one to answer the phone. The service is very quick organized and up-to-date. Thank you. Especially the receptionist.

SLMC is doing a good job with regard to maintenance of quality of medical education in Sri Lanka. Hat off and salute SLMC

No parking. Very inefficient staff.

It is the place were all the medical officers and other health staff registered in order to maintain the health stands. So it is like heart to the health system. But the staff is not organized. So they are wasting their time as well as others. Place is not attractive or eye catching at all.

Worst service ever. No one there to answer the telephone. Even I called the health ministry and told them that it’s hard to contact medical council they did the same by transferring the call to medical council but no one ever answered the phone. Really disappointing how the government services are operating in srilanka.

Kept asking me to get my COVID 19 vaccination card stamped by a doctor when it was the MOH who vaccinated us. She would not listen, 4 MOH’s including the office staff and every Dr I spoke to stated they can not stamp a document they did not have anything to do with,it’s illegal, which any thing human being will understand. But the foreign ministry demands the stamp from Medical council and the medical council demands a stamp of a Dr when it is with the stamp of MOH. Even though they work for government institutes they are not even remotely aware of the procedure of the country! Asks me to get a stamp by hook or by crook! Incompetent to the limit!

Official body which maintains quality and integrity of medical education

Receptionist gave the wrong application. Called to clarify something, wasn't equipped with the necessary information.

Time is 2.15 now. 5 people are waiting for the front desk staff to come back from the lunch break. Pathetic

The Sri Lanka Medical Council (SLMC) is a statutory body established in 1998, replacing the former Ceylon Medical Council. It is tasked with the regulation of the medical profession, upholding medical ethnical practices, standards of education and the safety of medical patients in Sri Lanka.

Sorry to say this Very Slow service and inadequate numbers of receptionists( even though they are working hard) and wasting many doctors valuable times. Some clerks don't know how to talk and behave (that may natural variation)😀😀😀😀

I submitted my ID renewal application more than 7 months now. They still not even prepared it. When I inquired it what they only said is the subject cleark is absent. I had enough troubles during the curfew period too. Only person available for inquiry is the receptionist, who doesn't have a clue. This is absurd and frustrating as usual. Only what they interest is payments.

Frauds all of them!

No answer.. No Support No feedbacks...

Really bad impression.🤮🤮🤮

the worst place i have ever been

Work place

Reception and the finance branch provided very good service to me.

I have been trying more than two weeks to contact them it’s ridiculous do u have any person to pick the land line

Waste of time... for small seal I had to wait for almost 4 hours.. useless place and unprofessional to. From security officer to working staff are usless government must consider ppl who work here behaviour is not appropriate at all... 1st time I had unpleasant experience in this place.. totally disgracefull people working here.. Medical authority should consider about this place and make investigations.

Staffs are so rude , even for doctors... specially to new doctors... they think that they were gave us to mbbs degree... unprofessional staffs... dissatisfied

One another horrible government places you have to visit. Worst service arrogant staff and they'll go above and beyond to find a reason to make sure nothing happens.

Google, please give us negative starts. Best example of typical government office

Verification process took about 15-20mins but you have to stand outside the building in the sun while you wait. No seating area is available. Make sure you pay 500LKR per certificate to a BOC branch, no details of this was available online but I had got the details from previous reviews

Good place

No problem

Better than other government offices.

I was a nurse in Srilanka. I went there for get nursing verification. Staff are very nice and kind. They are not wasting others time. They give grate service. They respond phone calls and emails too eventhough they are busy. I really appreciate their service. It is the best place I have ever seen in Srilanka.

Job done in 10 minutes I know there ‘s so ma y bad reviews . But seems things are getting better around here . You have the option of paying the fee online & bringing in a confirmation , provided you have no issues with your medicals. Receptionists seems to be helpful as well .

The females who are in the front desk think they are the owners of SLMC and they were dealt with me as I went to propose them 😅 I went to take my CGS and one lady was answering me by texting her phone. Disgusting

Worst service ever. No one there to answer the telephone and Really disappointing how the government services are operating .!

This is the regulatory institute for medical and supplementary medical services in Sri Lanka. Provide a variety of services under this purview.

worst hotline ever I dialled and which never answered

They don’t ever answer to the telephone. You all paid by our tax money. What a shame to have this kind of government services. It’s not the politician who lead this country to the hell. It’s the people like this with poor attitudes.

Well organized , kind staff not like other government office

Nice place,less crowded now due to travel restrictions and much organized now..

Excellent

Great job.

Its a helpful place than other government office.

The bedrock of all medical registrations in Sri Lanka. Is responsible for the upkeep of registers for medical doctors, nurses, and various allied health professionals.

helpful place than other government office

Only difficulty is space for parking.
