Thirteen doctors who have not been registered with the Sri Lanka Medical Council treat patients at the Neville Fernando Hospital, Malabe, the Inter University Students' Federation alleged, in a complaint lodged at the Police Headquarters.

IUSF Convener Lahiru Weerasekara said that those doctors include the doctor who treated Maduluwawe Sobitha Thera when he was in the hospital.

A medical doctor treating patients at a hospital should renew his or her registration every five years.
