    Training of doctors in the use of the Tamil language has also been given priority. Since there was a difficulty in arranging separate programmes for Doctors, they were invited to attend the programmes conducted for nursing personnel. It is observed that owing to the variance of their duty rosters they often find it difficult to attend these programmes regularly. In areas where the Tamil linguistic minority is spread out proficiency of the Tamil language is of paramount importance to health sector personnel.  Taking in to consideration of these facts doctors attached to hospitals in the Uva Province were allowed to follow the Tamil Language Programmes according to their convenience.
